The New York Yankees might have allowed three runs in the ninth inning, but still held on for a 6-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday. Aaron Judge hit his 25th home run of the season while Clarke Schmidt tossed six shutout innings with seven strikeouts.
On Thursday, the Bronx Bombers go for the sweep after completely outmatching Kansas City from start to finish. Rookie righty Will Warren will look to keep improving and growing on the mound, while the Royals hand the ball to Cy Young runner-up Seth Lugo.
The series is New York’s to lose at this point.
