The Yankees wasted no time making an impact, scoring all four runs within the first four innings. Alex Verdugo’s RBI single, DJ LeMahieu’s well-executed sacrifice bunt, and Jose Trevino’s clutch two-run single fueled the offensive surge. The Royals’ defense struggled to contain the Yankees’ relentless attack.
Carlos Rodón Shines
On the mound, Carlos Rodón continued his impressive season. The left-hander delivered seven innings of stellar pitching, allowing just one run. His pinpoint control and ability to keep the Royals’ hitters off balance were crucial in securing the victory.
Bullpen Brilliance
Ian Hamilton took over in the eighth inning, maintaining the Yankees’ lead with a scoreless frame. Then, in a high-pressure situation, Michael Tonkin stepped up to close out the game, earning his second career Major League save. The bullpen’s performance underscored the team’s depth and resilience.
Looking Ahead
With the series opener in the books, the Yankees now set their sights on a three-game winning streak. Marcus Stroman will take the mound on Tuesday at 8:10 p.m., aiming to extend their dominance over the Royals.
