Yankees News
In a day filled with highs for the New York Yankees, they swept the Kansas City Royals with a resounding 13-4 victory, highlighted by Aaron Judge launching a first-inning homer and Ben Rice contributing to the power surge, making their duo the first in franchise history to hit back-to-back homers in a game. Ryan Weathers was stellar on the mound, tossing 7.1 shutout innings and offering a glimpse of the pitching depth the Yankees desperately need, especially as the team grapples with a run differential that’s less than ideal. Meanwhile, the Yankees made a strategic move by trading infielder Braden Shewmake to the Astros, bringing in promising right-hander Wilmy Sanchez. With a record of 12-9, the Yankees are starting to find their rhythm, but the pitching woes of allowing 6.1 runs per game still loom large.
