Lombard’s Debut Home Run Lights Up Yankees | St. Louis Cardinals News

George Lombard Jr. delivered a debut for the ages, crushing a two-run homer on an 0-2 count to seal a 2-0 Yankees victory over the Cardinals — his first career hit and the first home run by a Yankees shortstop in his big league debut. At just 21 years and 63 days, he’s the youngest Yankee to debut since Jasson Domínguez and the second-youngest shortstop in that span. His defensive prowess added value, turning two crucial double plays as Ryan Weathers pitched six scoreless innings with zero walks. Jazz Chisholm Jr. also homered, while the Cardinals were shut out for the sixth time this season after Jordan Walker was scratched due to a knee injury. The Yankees, winners of ten of their last sixteen, now sit atop the AL with twelve shutouts and aim to keep rolling as they close out the series tonight.
