Jasson Domínguez's three-run double led the New York Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. Domínguez went 3 for 3 in the game, contributing to the Yankees' four-run sixth inning that erased a 2-0 deficit. Pitcher Max Fried struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings to secure the win, setting up a potential three-game sweep for the Yankees.
The Royals, who fell to 2-6 on the road, struggled against the Yankees once again, losing for the fourth time in five games. MJ Melendez's homer and Bobby Witt Jr.'s RBI double were not enough to overcome the Yankees' late surge. The upcoming series finale will feature Royals' LHP Kris Bubic against Yankees' RHP Clarke Schmidt, who is returning from rotator cuff tendinitis to bolster the Yankees' rotation.
