The New York Yankees are confident they can find ways to win while they wait for Aaron Judge's stress fracture in his rib to heal.

The only two things rarer in modern-day baseball than the four-homer game is the Triple Crown and the unassisted triple play. The former is, of course, done over an entire season, while there's a large level of lucky in the unassisted triple play.

The Yankees have one of Major League Baseball's best starting rotations, if not the No. 1 unit in the sport.
