Lombard Jr. Smashes Historic Grand Slam | New York Yankees News

George Lombard Jr. etched his name in Yankees history with a jaw-dropping first-career grand slam, leading a six-to-one demolition of the Rockies — and becoming the youngest Yankee to ever hit one since Mickey Mantle in 1952. It was also the team’s first grand slam of the season. Luis Garcia Jr. and Cody Bellinger added solo homers to cap a dominant offensive night, while Will Warren anchored the pitching staff with six strong innings and eight strikeouts before the bullpen locked it down. With the magic number at five and the Rays still four games ahead, the Yankees are on a critical mission to keep winning as they chase their playoff dreams.
