NEW YORK — The Rockies took an early 2-0 lead but the Yankees scored 8 unanswered runs to take the series opener, 8-2, at the Stadium.
The offense looked sluggish early but a third inning grand slam from Edwin Encarnacion sparked the Yankee bats and was supported by stellar pitching from then on. The slam was the DH’s first as a Bronx Bomber but already the 12th of his long career.

J.A. Happ struggled early on but was able to grind it out in five innings of work.
