The Yankees achieved a pivotal series sweep against the Royals, highlighted by Aaron Judge's late home run and Cody Bellinger's impressive diving catch. This victory not only bolsters the team's morale after a challenging start to their homestand but also sets the stage for their first matchup against a divisional rival, the Rays. Interestingly, although the game is technically an away match, it takes place at the Rays’ spring training facility, potentially giving the Yankees a familiar edge on the field as they face off.
The Yankees capped off a sweep of the Royals in dramatic fashion, taking the lead late on an Aaron Judge home run and then securing the victory on a Cody Bellinger diving grab.
That confidence boost sends them off on a positive note for a homestand that started quite poorly, and sets them up with their first divisional matchup of the year.
Ironically, even though it's a road game, this will also sort of be a home game for the Yankees as they face the Rays in their own spring training ballpark.
We'll see if those right field walls finally retract on the Yankees as the road team, or if they'll feel right at home.
