After Sunday’s 6-4 win over the Royals, no team in the majors has a better record than the Yankees. 

“I know in years past, we kind of scuffled out of the gates in April and then all we’re trying to do is climb back and fight back,’’ Aaron Judge said. “Getting an early lead like this, we’ll try to maintain and grow it through the year is gonna be big for us — especially with the type of team we have and the division we’re in.” 

They’ve won nine straight games — and 11 of their last 12 — and the Royals became the third consecutive team the Yankees swept. 

All of that is impressive, but the Yankees figure to get a stiffer test in Toronto, when they open a three-game series against the second-place Blue Jays. The Yankees have a 1 ½-game lead on Toronto. 

The Islanders season, which sputtered along coughing up plumes of smoke like a broken-down engine, finally came to an end with a 6-4 loss to the Lightning. Six months ago, they were envisioning the Stanley Cup. Now? 

They finish with a 37-35-10 record, and you wouldn’t blame them for being a little bit relieved that it’s over. 

“It’s a part of this group’s journey or story or whatever you want to call it,” Anders Lee said. “It’s part of our way to get where we want to go. It’s not going to be as linear as maybe we wanted it to be and expected it to be. Now it’s time to regroup.” 

The Yankees finished off a sweep of last-place Baltimore with a 10-5 win, as the woeful Orioles made five errors, leading to six unearned runs. 

The victory extended the Yankees’ winning streak to six games, as  they completed an undefeated homestand with a second straight series sweep after they did the same thing to Cleveland over the weekend. 

They’ve also won eight of their last nine to catapult themselves into first place in the AL East. 

“Everyone had a hand in wins almost every day,’’ Aaron Boone said. 

A truly incredible story was shared about Dennis Rodman in “The Last Dance” documentary by ESPN.

During the 1997-1998 season, which was the last the Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen/Phil Jackson Chicago Bulls spent together, Dennis Rodman wanted a break after helping to carry the team in Pippen’s absence. Jackson granted Rodman permission to go to Las Vegas for a few days during that time even though it was the middle of the season.

Jordan warned against the trip, saying Rodman wouldn’t return in time. So guess what happened?

“I went to f—ing Vegas,” Rodman recalled.

Rodman partied with his then-girlfriend Carmen Electra, a popular actress and Playboy model.

“It was on, the party was starting right away,” said Electra. “[Rodman] was wild.”

The trip last beyond the 48 hours Jackson approved, leading Jordan to go to Vegas to get Rodman.

Jordan says he got Rodman out of bed with Electra.

“There’s a knock on the door. It’s Michael Jordan, and I hid. I didn’t want him to see me like that, so I’m hiding behind the couch with covers on me,” Electra recalled.

Totally Unwrapped ice cream and the Hopscotch the Bunny ice cream cake can be found at participating Baskin-Robbins locations nationwide.

Citi Field has seen plenty of Max Scherzer, but for the first time on Tuesday night, he took the mound there as a Met. The right-hander didn’t take long to get the crowd of 27,490 hanging on his every pitch.

Scherzer flirted with throwing a no-hitter, recording two outs in the sixth inning before giving up his first and only hit of the game, and struck out 10 over seven innings to lead the Mets to a 3-1 win over the  Giants on a cold night in Queens.

It completed a doubleheader sweep after Francisco Lindor secured his first walk-off as a Met for a 5-4 win in Game 1, improving Buck Showalter’s club to 9-3 with a strong start to a four-game series against the reigning NL West champs.

“Wild one tonight,” said Scherzer, who said his stuff felt worse than usual because of an inability to grip the ball in the cold. “Just the conditions we were playing in, the fans out here loving it and providing a good atmosphere for us to play in.” 

This was more like what the Yankees expected in 2022 — both from Gerrit Cole and their offense.

For the first time this season, Cole looked like the pitcher the Yankees are paying him to be and his offense provided plenty of support in return as the Yankees beat the Guardians 10-2 to secure the three-game sweep.

Cole received a standing ovation as he walked off the mound after throwing 6 scoreless innings and Anthony Rizzo, DJ LeMahieu and even Tim Locastro each belted two-run homers in a rare chance to breathe for the Yankees (10-6).

Before Sunday, 13 of their first 15 games had been decided by three runs or fewer — the most in the majors. Their biggest win of the season had been only 4-0 over the Blue Jays. But on Sunday, the Guardians (7-8) served as fodder for a team in need of a laugher.

The Yankees’ 10 runs and 13 hits both marked season highs, with LeMahieu’s three-hit day leading the way.

Ford has recalled more than 650,000 pickup trucks and SUVs due to an issue causing the vehicles’ windshield wipers to break and fail, the Associated Press reports.

The recall includes certain F-150 pickup trucks, the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs from the 2020 and 2021 model years, as well as the Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks from the 2020 through 2022 model years.

Ford said the teeth on the wipers on trucks and SUVs included in the recall aren’t the right height, which may cause the wiper arms to become stripped.

Malfunctioning wiper arms may reduce windshield visibility, which causes a greater risk of a crash taking place.

Ford said some of the trucks were built with higher-torque wiper motors amid a global shortage of computer chips.
