Yankees Moving Up

The New York Yankees are poised to take top spot in the American League Eastern standings after an outstanding weekend in Chicago.

The MLB standings are ready to shift after the Yankees finished a three game sweep of reigning World Series Champions, the Chicago White Sox, on Sunday with 6-4 win. This victory coupled with the Oakland Athletics' defeat of Eastern leaders, the Boston Red Sox, has placed the Yankees within a half-game of moving to the division top rank.
