The New York Yankees secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals, concluding a three-game sweep. Rookie Will Warren showcased impressive pitching, keeping the Royals scoreless for 5.2 innings. The Yankees' offense, without Aaron Judge, struggled initially against Seth Lugo, only managing two hits. However, they made a breakthrough in the eighth inning when a throwing error allowed Pablo Reyes to score. The bullpen maintained the lead, with Jonathan Loáisiga and Devin Williams ensuring the game's shutout, marking the Yankees' fourth 1-0 win of the season as they prepare for a series against the Red Sox.
With Aaron Judge getting his first day off of the season, New York's offense struggled against Royals right-hander Seth Lugo, collecting just two hits and three walks over 5.2 innings.
Warren, however, matched Lugo pitch for pitch. The right-hander worked around early traffic, including a one-out triple in the fifth, and kept the Royals off the board through 5.2 innings before turning it over to the bullpen.
The Yankees finally broke through in the eighth. Paul Goldschmidt lined a ball off the first baseman's glove, and Pablo Reyes scored after a throwing error allowed him to scramble home for the game's only run.
The bullpen took it the rest of the way. Jonathan Loáisiga handled the eighth, and Devin Williams shut the door in the ninth, locking up the Yankees' MLB-leading fourth 1-0 win of the season.
