Yankees Sweep Orioles, Garcia Out vs Blue Jays | New York Yankees News

The Yankees just swept the Orioles with power and precision, as Spencer Jones and Luis Garcia Jr. each cracked solo homers in Game 3, while Gerrit Cole dominated with eight strikeouts and just one run allowed. Now they head into a nine-game home stand against the Blue Jays — but here’s the twist: Garcia Jr., who lit up Baltimore going 3-for-4 with a homer, is sitting this one out, making way for veteran Paul Goldschmidt to lead off at first. Garcia Jr. has been a revelation since his Nationals trade, hitting 25 homers and driving in 80 runs this season. With the Yankees holding the top AL wild card spot and a comfortable cushion in the East, they’re primed for a big push — next up: Astros, then a four-game Red Sox showdown.
