➡️ Reliever Paul Blackburn tossed a scoreless eighth inning Wednesday at Baltimore and has gone 10 straight games (11.1 IP) without allowing an earned run. … He has yielded no earned runs in 25 of his last 27 appearances (including one start), going 2-1 with one save and a 0.72 ERA (37.1 IP) in that stretch, and holding opponents to a .116/.213/.198 (14-for-121) slash line.

➡️ New York starters have allowed three runs or fewer in 99 starts — their most through 126 games of a season in franchise history, topping 98 in 2021 and 2022.

➡️ The Yankees are 40-28 (.588) on the road this year, the best record in the American League and the second-best in the majors, trailing only the Dodgers (40-25, .615). … New York’s last three-game sweep of an opponent was July 10-12 at Washington, right before the All-Star break.

➡️ At the time of his trade to New York, Heliot Ramos was slashing .264/.304/.424 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs for San Francisco. In 13 games as a Yankee, Ramos is slashing .095/.240/.167 (4-for-42) with three doubles and no RBIs.

➡️ Per researcher Katie Sharp, Brent Headrick has 54 scoreless appearances this season, the most in MLB. The Yankees single-season record is 65 by Tom Gordon (2004) and Mariano Rivera (2004).
