The only team that has found success against the New York Yankees this season has been the Houston Astros. Despite this challenge, fans in New York still believe that their team is at the top of the league and cannot be stopped.

Thursday's game came down to the wire, but this rivalry deserves great games.

This was just the first of a four-game series. It was a great tone-setter for the level of competition we can expect.

This big win also came without two of the Yankees' biggest stars, Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo. The fact that their offense barely skipped a beat without those two sluggers is a testament to their depth.

Starting off the road series with a win is the perfect way to begin, especially in the AL East where every win matters.

The New York Yankees have almost three times more wins than losses. This feat is only achievable by a historically special team, and that's exactly what we are seeing now.

The Yankees have a chance to etch their names into the record books.

New York fans have celebrated a win 60 times this season, and they are still overjoyed each time.

The New York Yankees won a clutch game against the Boston Red Sox to hit 60 wins, and their fans took a well-deserved victory lap.
