Offensive Firepower

The Yankees wasted no time, jumping to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Aaron Judge, a force at the plate, drove in the opening run with an RBI single. Gleyber Torres followed suit with a clutch two-out, two-run single. The offensive onslaught continued as Oswaldo Cabrera smashed a two-run ground-rule double, and Ben Rice, Austin Wells, and DJ LeMahieu contributed with sacrifice flies.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., making his debut with the Yankees, showcased his speed by singling, stealing a base, and crossing home plate.
