The Yankees are rolling now, having won seven in a row and eight of their last 10, now at an AL-best 33 wins, and the captain has been a big part of their recent success.
Outfielder Aaron Judge was named AL Player of the Week on Monday thanks to an extra-base bonanza over the past seven days. Judge hit .500 while hitting three homers to go along with five doubles.
Judge got off to a bit of a slow start this season, batting .197 through May 2, but he’s turned things around a lot lately and is now third in the American League with 13 home runs and batting .266.
Judge and the Yankees are currently riding a seven-game winning streak and welcome the Seattle Mariners to town for a four-game set starting Monday night.
