In a unique matchup, the Yankees defeated the Royals 1-0, clinching a three-game sweep. The victory, marked by Pablo Reyes' unlikely contributions, highlighted a night where the typical stars were absent, especially with Aaron Judge not in the lineup. Reyes, who has had limited participation throughout the season, stepped up dramatically, securing a crucial hit and scoring the game's only run despite his struggles at the plate. This win reflects the Yankees' recent form, winning 23 of their last 32 games.
Reyes, playing in just his 24th game of the season and hitting .179 coming into it, led off the eighth against ace Kansas City reliever Lucas Erceg with a sharp single to right.
This was perhaps the most unique of the season for the Yankees as Aaron Judge, who started the first 66 games, was out of the lineup, showcasing a different roster setup.
