Wins are good.
The Yankees needed a series like this... playing a team they could "get right" against.
They have now won three in a row over the Royals and will go for the sweep tomorrow.
Aaron Judge hit his 200th career homer.
Nestor Cortes raised his record to 9-3.
Clarke Schmidt pitched the final three innings for the save.
Aroldis Chapman pitched a perfect inning of his own earlier.
Matt Carpenter homer.
DJ LeMahieu homered.
The trade deadline inches closer... ever closer.
Let's play a fun fill in the blank game. Guess the player:
J U _ N S _ T _.
Josh Donaldson and Joey Gallo
for Juan Soto and young prospect Cristhian Vaquero
