Good morning, I’m Tyler Lauletta, filling in one more time for your usual host, Dan Gartland, who is taking some batting cage swings in case the Mets come calling. Let’s get right to it.

Mike Trout and Aaron Judge give a regular-season series to remember |
The MLB season is a marathon—more so than any other sport aside from literal marathons. In a season that stretches from crisp spring through the dog days of summer before concluding with the chill of fall, teams battle across 2,430 games that can largely run into one another.
It’s not often that a regular-season series in April between non-divisional foes cements itself as a moment to remember, but that’s just what we got from the four games played between the Angels and Yankees this week.
It didn’t take long for the fireworks to start, with both teams’ three-time American League MVPs (Aaron Judge and Mike Trout) going yard twice in the first game of the series. All four of those dingers were to either tie the game or take the lead, and the Yankees would eventually win 11–10.
Neither superstar was close to finished. Trout blasted another home run in the first inning of Game 2 of the series, putting the Angels ahead early in what would prove to be a 7–1 blowout. Judge responded with a first-inning home run of his own in Game 3, only to be matched later when Trout went yard in the fifth inning. The cycle repeated in Game 4, with Judge bashing a tater in the first and Trout providing an exclamation point on the series in the seventh with a towering 446-foot shot.
