After a 9-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, the Yankees came back with a dominant performance, winning 10-3 on Sunday. The Bombers needed a spark on offense, and their sluggers delivered.

The top of the order gives the attack power

The first four batters in the Yankees’ lineup accounted for all 10 RBIs, with Gleyber Torres having a standout afternoon. Torres collected two hits, including a three-run homer, and drove in four runs. Both Juan Soto and Aaron Judge also homered, with Judge hitting two long balls to extend his quest for 63 home runs, which would break his own record of 62.

Judge now has 51 home runs this season and Soto is at a nice 37. Together they have hit 88 and are on pace for 112.

The Yankees offense collected 12 hits and limited their strikeouts to six. Colorado managed just five hits with eight strikeouts. While the bottom half of the order struggled, Alex Verdugo and DJ LeMahieu combined for four runs and four hits.

Volpe’s fight continues

Anthony Volpe was the only player to have a tough day at bat, striking out two batters in four innings, underscoring his continued unpredictability.

Solid casting effort

The Yankees pitching staff turned in a solid performance despite Marcus Stroman getting knocked down and giving up three earned runs in five innings. Stroman, who has a 3.88 ERA this season, was coming off two strong outings. On Sunday, he threw 97 pitches, 56 of which were strikeouts, allowing five hits and retiring five batters. While it wasn’t Stroman’s best day, the Yankees offense provided plenty of support, scoring in double figures.

The bullpen also delivered strong performances, particularly from Luke Weaver, who retired two batters in his scoreless inning as a reliever.

Yankees prepare for Nationals Series

That dominance was exactly what the Yankees needed against one of the worst teams in baseball. They now prepare to take on the Washington Nationals starting Monday. The Nationals have three left-handed pitchers scheduled to start, a challenge for the Yankees, as lefties have been their kryptonite this season.
