Sugano’s Resilience vs. Lombard’s Grand Slam | Colorado Rockies News

Rockies pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, known for his calm under pressure, had a shaky start against the Yankees—giving up a solo homer and then loading the bases before a 21-year-old rookie, George Lombard Jr., crushed his first career grand slam, tying him with Mickey Mantle for second-youngest in franchise history. Despite the early blow, Sugano rallied, retiring the next ten batters to finish six innings. Meanwhile, Yankees’ Will Warren kept Rockies’ bats quiet for six innings, baffling them with his command. The game came down to one swing: Lombard’s heroics proved decisive, even as Sugano showed grit and the Rockies fell short.
