Cody Bellinger<\/a><\/strong> opened up the scoring again with his eighth homer of the season, launching a two-out solo shot in the first on a slider over the heart of the plate from Bailey Falter<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n After a Paul Goldschmidt<\/a><\/strong> double, Ben Rice<\/a><\/strong> hit a sharp liner toward Jac Caglianone<\/a><\/strong> in right field, who could not maintain control of the ball. It was initially called an out, but Aaron Boone challenged and it was overturned, allowing Goldschmidt to score.<\/p>\n Amed Rosario<\/a><\/strong> made the Royals pay with a two-run bomb that went 420 feet into the fountain in left center field to put the Yankees up 4-0.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n –Anthony Volpe<\/a><\/strong> launched his first homer of the season in the second, a 409-foot blast that went 103 mph to straightaway center.
