Masahiro Tanaka seemed close for a while now with a 3.81 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 60 Ks, and just nine walks in his last eight starts and then then this:
Masahiro Tanaka was masterful tonight. Eight innings of one-run ball and a career-high fourteen strikeouts. #Yankees pic.twitter.com/6BmkCJp8Gu

Tanaka was perfect through five and two-thirds before an Adeiny Hechavarria single broke it up. He wound up going eight innings, allowing just a single run on two hits with a career-high 14 strikeouts.
On the Agenda:
Adrian Beltre proved once again that he is the GOAT:

I’ve been a big Alex Verdugo fan for a while, but now I think I am in love:

With the trade deadline quickly approaching, #HugWatch has spilled over into the Fangraphs offices:
Rumors are that Fangraphs is shopping me, but that no one wants to take on the money involved which is quite minimal. #HugWatch
