Yankees vs. Royals Game Highlights (5-26-26) - MLB Highlights

What a truly spectacular night for baseball in Kansas City, Missouri it's the Yankees against the Royals in the middle game of a three game set Bailey Falter who is making his fifth appearance and his second start the other start was on a bullpen night earlier on the homestand second start for Falter he'll step in make this start for the Royals hopefully he can get him three to five innings two pitches two outs for Bailey Falter can he go three for three now he faces Cody Ballinger left on left one pitch driven deep to right a line driver screaming line drive it's gone Tony Ballinger back to back nights with road home runs in the Yankees have an early lead here in the first inning it's one nothing New York oh man did that ball get teed up and isn't it amazing how that lefties absolutely do not bother him at all looks exactly the same just pulled that beautifully down the line it got out in about two and a half seconds I know Caglione tried to run back but there was no way he was getting that one nothing Yankees looking for their 13th consecutive win against Kansas City brings up Paul Goldschmidt even stands from the right side as Goldschmidt whips that fair into the left field corner Goldschmidt going to jog his way to second and he is there with a two out double runner on second with two outs for Ben Rice and Rice leases that to right field but it hangs up barely for Caglione they're going to take a look at it here New York you're challenging the ball on the field that's why the Yankees are challenging you see it entered the glove but as he went down it's almost like he might have pinned it against the ground a little bit to keep it in the glove right there that's a catch it's right there with the ball moves inside the glove and it certainly hits the ground so that's the Yankees replay coordinator seen and the rule on a catch is if the ball is secured and maintained so in New York if they believe at any point he lost control that's not a it's not a true trap where the ball hits the ground before it goes into the glove he had the ball secured and now the decision is did he maintain after review the call on the field was overturned and no we have a run for that a runner to first New York retain their challenge runner on first with two outs for right handed hitting Ahmed Rosario Rosario lifts that in the air to left and D Thomas back looking up and that is long gone the Yankees take advantage of the extra out of four spot in the first with Rosario's to run over capping it where Rosario his fifth home run RBI 17 and 18 Hey now now this guy and we've said this since the first the whole third of the season every time he plays he does something how you can sit on the bench for the length of time that he has and come in and hit a home run as easily as anything is amazing to me how he stays ready how he stays prepared some of the best benchwork I've ever seen and Cam Schleier is going to tell the slab here at the K for the twelfth time this year and the numbers just jump off the board at one point five oh we are a six and two he is the de facto ace of this Yankees rotation and he has been very good all season grounded hard on the back and Volpe across his body in time nice play from the Yankees shortstop for the final out of the bottom of the first really nice play from Volpe who look he has played his way into playing time with how he's performed since coming up after the injury to Caballero Volpe charges that into left center field indeed it's Bell going to watch it fly with his first home run of the season and the Yankees keep pouring in on Falter stay hot young man five nothing New York here in the second inning they are teeing off on Bailey Falter that is the third home run and the first eight batters five

God that brings up Bobby Witt Junior the 0 1 Witt slices it in the air deep right center field judge races back out of the track looks up it's gone out of the Q.T. Fountain deck an opposite field solo home run for Bobby Witt Junior that was a ball that just kept going and going and going until it was gone he's homework for a second straight game he's now got nine home runs this season and the Royals are on the board at the bottom of the third home run last night in the eighth home run here in the third and he's so strong the ability to drive the baseball to all fields as what makes Bobby Witt Junior an elite hitter he is not just good but he is elite and Salvador Perez will lead things off against Cam Schlittler who has been as advertised tonight swing and a miss nasty curve from Cam fourth strikeout yeah he's got one of these two we haven't seen a lot of them today but wow is that a really well thrown well executed pitch here's Lane Thomas he doubled his first time up his third double as a royal the payoff a man a fly ball deep left field twisting turning going back is Bellinger right in front of the scoreboard raises up and makes the catch for a nice cool common collected out there Cody Bellinger a one two three fourth inning for Kansas City two outs here top of the fifth Frank Grisham lead off in the order tonight Grisham off the glove of Witt and he kicks it in a right it'll be a single double for Grisham kind of felt like that was off the end of the bat and had some funny spin on it like we've got pulled on that a bit now you get runners at first and second for Aaron judge the 0 1 to judge judge drives that in the air deep left center field that ball is off the wall Chisholm will score Grisham will stop in third it's an RBI double for Aaron judge Jordan in the RBI parade is Mr. Judge now well this is just a line drive bullet right off the wall 107 miles off of the bat it's hit plenty hard now just the height of a wall banger and a stand up double double figures for the Yankees it's 10 one here in the fifth runner at second one down another number nine hitter it's Kyle Isbell strike three called Oh man he just that was pinpoint inside corner at the knees go have a seat two down that strikeout for Kidd here's Garcia back to the top of the order he's 0 4 2 tonight fly ball right field judge there inning over Cam through five strong Yankees a 10 one lead Bobby Wood Jr. has driven in and scored the Royals only run tonight the one to he got him frozen with a ninety seven mile an hour sinker and that time Cam wins the battle and now it's Salvi Salvi has grounded out and struck out off the hands into left Pellinger there another incredibly efficient inning for Cam Schlittler just 77 pitches through six back at the top of the lineup and Trent Grisham who's two for four with a couple of singles and also an RBI ground down Grisham powers that deep right field Cagliari watch it fly Trent Grisham goes yard his seventh home run of the season his third hit of the night and the Yankees keep coming it's eleven to one it's a good way to get over the Mendoza line coming into that batting his batting average is one ninety nine not any longer and that that was a really good shot by Trent Grisham four hundred and fourteen feet one hundred and three miles an hour off of the bat Yankees a season I 17 hits tonight runners on the corners two down Ben Rice and Cruz wins the long battle he strikes out two in the seventh inning but the Yankees add a run on the Grisham home run here is jazz the only Yankee not to join the party tonight although he doesn't walk in a run scored Chisholm slams that Chisholm has entered the party might have found a trap door out there and right his sixth home run of the year and it's twelve one Yankees yes Chisholm has joined a hit parade here this evening in Kansas City with home run number six in RBI number 20. Good for him. Everybody's got a hit. Yankees have a twelve one lead and that went four hundred and sixteen feet and that's that was just a shot. So everybody all the starters have a hit a dozen runs on the board. That was the 19th hit. There's Anthony Volpe's Volpe wax that into right center field that'll roll to the wall. Anthony Volpe thinking about three. We're going to park it at second as Anthony Volpe has a three hit nine Wells one for four a couple of strikeouts his last two plate appearances twelve one Yankees and Wells gives the Yankees their twenty first hit of the night Volpe being waved home he will score lucky 13 on the board for the Yankees it's 13 to one Tolbert issues a walk and now faces Ahmed Rosario Rosario drives that to right field that ball is gone hits off the top of the wall and gets out second home run of the night for Ahmed Rosario big smile on his face and he pumps the right fist and a four hit night for Rosario and the Yankees I don't know about you but I'm feeling twenty to their twenty second hit of the night here in Kansas City to run home before Rosario fabulous night and Yarbrough for three quick outs tapped weekly back to Yarbrough this one easier footing and that is the ball game the Yankees shellacked the Royals 15 to one and have won 13 consecutive games against Kansas City Cam Schlittler was dominant on the mound once again similar formula very efficient strike throwing owning the strike zone and the Yankees top the bottom everybody showed up everybody got paid their best offensive performance in a long time twenty four hits their most in 15 years and the first time in Yankees history that all nine starters have recorded at least two hits in the same game.
