Keeping tabs on every home run for the New York Yankees this season. Completing a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals, with a 4-2 victory, the Yanks are ready for some West Coast struttin’. A pair of pops powered the Yanks to a third straight win.
In the second inning, New York was trailing 1-0, when Brian McCann helicoptered a solo shot to right, off Chris Young (the other one) and knotted the contest at 1-1. The drive was McCann’s sixth of the season, 29th as a Yankee and the 205th of his career.
In the ensuing frame, Alex Rodriguez sent a screamer to left, a three-run smoke bomb off Young, increasing the Yanks advantage to 4-1. A-Rod’s seat seeking missile was his eleventh of the year, 320th in pinstripes and the 665th of his career.
On the year, the Bronx Bombers have 60 round trippers.
