Challenge to break the most '116 wins' in a season in ML
The Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 8-1 in an away game on Saturday (Korean time). They overwhelmed Boston in both pitching and hitting, signaling a victory for them. They gained the upper hand by scoring two runs in the top of the first inning, and gained the upper hand by adding one and two runs in the top of the fourth and fifth innings. They added three runs in their last attack in the top of the ninth inning to determine the winner.
Lewis Gil, a "monster rookie," took the mound as a starting pitcher and pitched five innings, allowing four hits, four walks, six strikeouts and one run, to win his ninth game (one loss) of the season. Gil lowered his earned run average to 2.03. In the batting lineup, Alex Verdugo, the fourth batter in right field, made three hits, one homer, four RBIs, one run and one run from five times at bat, becoming the leading player in the win.
This victory marked the Yankees' 50 wins and 22 losses in this season. He was the only team among the 30 teams in the Major League who recorded the highest winning percentage (0.694) by achieving 50 wins. In addition, he maintained the lead in the American East. He widened his gap with the Baltimore Orioles (45 wins and 24 losses), ranking second in the district, to 3.5 games.
He has 50 wins in 72 games this season. If he maintains the current pace, he will have 112.5 wins in 162 games this season. He can also challenge the Seattle Mariners to set a new Major League record (116 wins and 46 losses) in 2001. He needs to win 67 games in the remaining 90 games to break the record. It is not an easy mission, but he has displayed strong performance this season, which has high expectations.
The Yankees will take a day off after playing consecutive away games in Boston on Wednesday and Thursday. They will then hold three consecutive home games against Baltimore, which is in the race to become the leader in the American League East, from Saturday to Sunday. The team will invite the Atlanta Braves, the powerhouse in the National League East, to its home ground for three consecutive games from Sunday to Sunday.
