Lombard’s Grand Slam Shines for Yankees | New York Yankees News

George Lombard Junior just became the second-youngest Yankee ever to hit a grand slam—only behind Mickey Mantle—and did it in style, clearing the bases in the third inning against the Rockies. At 21 years and 99 days old, he’s already making his mark with 23 hits and a .240 average through 28 games, though his defense still needs work. With the Yankees holding a 10-game Wild Card lead and playoff hopes on the line, Lombard’s breakout season could be exactly what they need to keep their momentum going.
