In a decisive victory, the New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals 4-1, powered by four solo home runs, three of which came in a critical fifth inning. Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, and Austin Wells each contributed significantly during this inning, breaking a 1-1 tie. Solid pitching by Carlos Carrasco, who allowed only one hit in five innings, was instrumental in this win, coming after the Yankees had struggled recently with only two wins in the last eight games.
