Aaron Boone and the Yankees have been waiting for many of the team’s slumping former All-Stars to come through during Aaron Judge’s injury absence.
DJ LeMahieu’s first home run in nearly six weeks snapped a seventh-inning tie and two-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton in the eighth inning propelled the Yankees over the Royals, 5-2, at the Stadium.
LeMahieu’s full-count home run over the right-field wall off Royals reliever Carlos Hernandez — his first in 26 games since June 13 against the Mets — gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning before Tommy Kahnle and Clay Holmes recorded the final six outs.They will go for a three-game sweep of the Royals, who own the second-worst record in baseball , on Sunday with Luis Severino on the mound.
Gerrit Cole allowed two runs over 6 ¹/₃ innings, striking out and 10 and walking one to keep his ERA where it started the day at 2.78.Cole’s no-decision at least marked a strong beginning in his first career start with catcher Ben Rortvedt, who was called up from Triple-A on Friday when Jose Trevino was placed on the injured list.The Yankees had acquired Rortvedt from the Twins after the 2021 season, but he missed all of last year with injuries.
“There’s no question there’s a comfort level there with Trevy and Gerrit, but looking forward to Benny getting back there with him, though,” Boone said before the game. “They got to spend [Friday] kind of going through their game plan for today and getting comfortable. After Cole struck out two in an 11-pitch first inning, the Yankees grabbed a quick 1-0 lead against Kansas City starter Brady Singer in the bottom half.
The Royals drew even in the third, when Nick Pratto crushed Cole’s 2-2 off-speed offering into the right-field seats for a leadoff homer.The Yankees quickly restored the lead, however, in the bottom of the inning on Torres’ sacrifice fly after Anthony Volpe had doubled and stolen third.
