00:00The Giants up 5-3, entering the final frame, and the Yankees come all the way back.

00:05Anthony Volpe gets them on the board, and then Juan Soto, the game-winning two-run shot,

00:10his second home run of the game. The Yanks add on another.

00:14The Pinstripes win 7-5 to complete the sweep up by the bay.

00:18Pretty impressive. You didn't even get a great start out of Nestor Cortez here, Ben.

00:21Four and third innings pitched, seven hits, three earned runs, but enough to keep you in that game.

00:25By the way, it's a 3.46 ERA, which I think the Yankees would take.

00:28On the other hand, looking at the San Francisco Giants,

00:31you bring in a pitcher that is Cy Young caliber and has won that award before,

00:34leaves with an injury after four and two-thirds innings pitched, three earned runs,

00:38seven strikeouts, and lowering his ERA, I guess you could say, to 9.51.

00:43And when you hear a pitcher with a hamstring injury, that's going to be quite some time

00:46because you don't get that extension off of the mound.

00:48But the Yankees, say what you want about them.

00:50Their top performers are finally starting to settle in,

00:53and you really do have a two-man MVP race now at the top of the American League

00:58because you take a look at Soto and Judge.

01:00They are absolutely bombing away.

01:02And it's also crazy.

01:03Just say if Soto wasn't on this baseball team, which, again, he is.

01:06He's hitting .322.

01:07I've talked about this so many times, Ben.

01:09The protection that you get at the top of the lineup,

01:11which you can't just walk Soto to get to Judge, and that's paying off.

01:15.288 Aaron Judge is hitting.

01:17Can you imagine if Aaron Judge hits .300

01:19and also how many home runs he's going to wind up with at the end of the season?

01:22It's a match made in heaven.

01:23Soto and Judge have been spectacular for the Yankees,

01:26and we'll see where they go in the summer.
