Early Momentum Sets the Tone
We got off to a bit of a slow start in the first inning, with Ben Rice and Aaron Judge on the bases but no runs to show for it. Both Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Paul Goldschmidt struck out looking. However, things started heating up in the second inning when Jasson Domínguez doubled and Oswaldo Cabrera brought in two runs, capitalizing on a Pirates' fielding error. An excellent hustle with Cabrera safe at second!
In the third inning, Domínguez and Cabrera struck again, taking advantage of another Pirates' mishap to secure a 4-0 lead. Anthony Volpe's aggressive yet strategic maneuver brought in Goldschmidt in the fourth inning, and with another round of hits and errors from the Pirates, we climbed to a commanding 7-1 lead.
Judge’s Stellar Performance and Yankees Seal the Deal
The seventh inning was all about our Captain, Aaron Judge, who slammed a two-run homer to center field, bringing the scoreline to an intimidating 9-1! His performance was electric and an embodiment of why he’s the pride of the Yankees.
The Pirates made a little noise thanks to Ke'Bryan Hayes’ three-run homer in the bottom seventh inning. Still, our bullpen held strong as we wrapped up the game with a tidy 9-4 victory. Newcomers Headrick and Williams provided solid relief pitching to ensure Pittsburgh's late rally was squashed.
Looking Ahead
With today's performance, the Yankees have shown their depth and resilience. From early base running to powerful homers and defensive tenacity, this game was a complete team effort. Our boys are gaining momentum, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future. Let’s keep this streak going, Yankees! New York, we’re coming for more victories!
