In what's been a wild game between the playoff-bound New York Yankees (95-50) and the worst team in the MLB, the Detroit Tigers (42-100), the Yankees took the lead on back-to-back home runs from Edwin Encarnacion and Didi Gregorius in the seventh inning, giving the Yankees a 11-10 lead.
Oh that is WAYYYYY gone ?

Even more notably, Didi's home run was the 276th of the year for the Yankees, which is tied with the Minnesota Twins for most home runs by a team in a single season. And Rob Manfred seriously claims that these balls aren't juiced up.
