Yanks Bring the Boom in the Bronx: A Fun Night at the Stadium

Hey Yankees fans! What a night in the Bronx, huh?

After a bit of a rocky stretch lately (losing five of our last seven), the boys bounced back in style Monday night with a 4-1 win over the Kansas City Royals — and they did it the Yankee way: with power.

It was a chilly 57 degrees at Yankee Stadium, but things heated up quick when Jazz Chisholm Jr. tied the game with a solo shot in the fourth inning. From there, the bats just kept popping. Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, and Austin Wells each sent balls over the wall in the fifth — all solo homers, all from the left side. Boom, boom, boom. It was the most home runs we’ve seen in a game from the Bombers since way back in game three of the season.

But let’s give a big shoutout to Carlos Carrasco. The veteran righty came into the night with a shaky 7.71 ERA, but he absolutely shoved — just one hit over five innings, and the only blemish was a solo homer by Bobby Witt Jr. Talk about a bounce-back performance.

The bullpen locked it down the rest of the way. Fernando Cruz, Tim Hill, Luke Weaver, and Devin Williams (who picked up his second save) combined for four shutout innings to slam the door on Kansas City. Clean, efficient, and exactly what you want to see.

With the win, the Yanks are now 26-9 against AL Central teams since the start of 2024 — pretty solid dominance there. Next up, Max Fried’s taking the hill for Game 2 of the series, facing off against Michael Wacha. Let’s keep this momentum rolling!

Go Yanks! 🔵⚪️💣
