Volpe’s Grand Slam Powers Yankees | New York Yankees News

Anthony Volpe obliterated the Rockies with a jaw-dropping grand slam and five RBIs, sparking a 10-3 Yankees win that slashes the AL East gap to just three games behind Tampa Bay. Luis García Jr. added an early two-run homer, while rookie Spencer Jones delivered three hits, including a clutch two-run single. The victory tightens the race for the division lead and keeps the Yankees firmly in playoff contention — now four and a half games ahead of Boston for the wild card with only sixteen games left. The energized crowd at Yankee Stadium roared as Volpe took a curtain call after his blast, marking his impressive transition to second base following Chisholm’s injury. Meanwhile, the Rockies continue their slide, losers of four straight and ten of thirteen, though Kyle Karros cracked a long homer and Jake McCarthy drove in a run with a triple. Up next: the Yankees face the surging Mets, who’ve won 16 of their last 23, starting Friday night against rookie pitcher Nolan McLean.
