The win moved New York to 13-9 and capped a series defined by power and strong pitching.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees wasted no time taking control. Aaron Judge put them in front with a two-run homer in the first inning, setting the tone early. Austin Wells added a sacrifice fly later in the frame, and Ben Rice followed with a solo shot in the second to stretch the lead. Rice continues to emerge as a key piece in the lineup, staying right behind Judge among the team\u2019s home run leaders.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New York Yankees vs Kansas City Royals - FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS \ud83d\udd25 April 19, 2026 MLB Season\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NqOObhkuVfs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>New York broke things open in the fifth when Trent Grisham delivered the biggest swing of the afternoon, crushing a three-run homer to put the game out of reach. The lineup combined patience and power, consistently applying pressure and capitalizing on mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound, Weathers turned in his sharpest outing of the season. The left-hander worked 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing five hits while striking out five and walking one. He settled in quickly after a brief early test, retiring 12 straight at one point and keeping Kansas City from generating any rhythm at the plate.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/gameday\/royals-vs-yankees\/2026\/04\/19\/823556\/final\/box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n<p>New York is off on Monday before opening a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday at 6:45 p.m. at Fenway Park.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<section id=\"newsletter\" class=\"newsletter\">\n<p> <strong><em> Get the latest local headlines every morning at 6 a.m. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fingerlakes1.com\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sign up for our Get Local newsletter (Opens New Tab)\" aria-label=\"Sign up for our Get Local newsletter (Opens New Tab)\"> Sign up for our Get Local newsletter <\/a>.<br \/>\n Want to see more FingerLakes1.com stories in Google? <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.fingerlakes1.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Add FingerLakes1.com to your preferred Google news sources (Opens New Tab)\" aria-label=\"Add FingerLakes1.com to your preferred Google news sources (Opens New Tab)\"> Add FingerLakes1.com to your preferred news sources <\/a> to help Google prioritize our reporting in your results. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"sabox-authors\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-wrap\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"author\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-tab saboxplugin-tab-about\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-gravatar\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fingerlakes1.com\/author\/kyleevans\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fingerlakes1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/evans-kyle-2022.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-desc\">\n<div itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>Kyle leads sports coverage and hosts the Concrete Jungle podcast.
