Offense carried the day for New York, fueling a blowout win that showcased the Yankees’ big-game potential as they chase the sweep.
Aaron Judge had a quiet night at the plate, going 0-for-2 with two walks, one run scored and two strikeouts, while also contributing with a first-inning double, per game notes.
In the seventh inning, Judge was removed as the blowout pace took over, with Rosario replacing him in right field to start the final three frames.
Despite the quiet performance, Judge has been in the middle of a hot stretch, homering four times in his previous five games.
New York now eyes a Sunday matchup that could seal the series sweep over the Royals, continuing a stretch of strong play for the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
