Despite all the talk about New York's torpedo bats, Zac Gallen shut them down Wednesday night with 13 strikeouts in 6.2 innings.

The game sent shockwaves across Major League Baseball. Other MLB teams have since placed an influx of orders with Hillerich & Bradsby, the Louisville-based company that makes Louisville Slugger bats and created the torpedo bats used by Yankee players over the weekend.

At that point, the Yankees were already four home runs into a historic nine-homer barrage that resulted in a 20-9 blowout. They concluded the three-game sweep with 15 homers to tie the MLB record for the most long balls through a team's first three games.

It’s the time of year when every team can still be optimistic, so here's each one's most encouraging sign from the season’s opening weekend.
