Giambi's July
Jason Giambi hit his 13th home run of July. That's more than he hit in all of 2004. He now has a .440 OBA and a .542 slugging percentage for the year.
Update: Giambi hits another one in the 7th. It's his fourth multi-homer game of the month. The Yankees still trail 4-2 after seven.

Giambi is now tied for the American League lead in OPS with ARod. He wins the tie-breaker by leading ARod in OBP by almost thirty points. And those are overall numbers that include Jason's slow start. Right now Giambi is easily the best hitter in the AL.
Not too shabby for a guy who was going to be sent to the minors so that the Immortal Tino Martinez could man first full-time, eh?
