KANSAS CITY — Gerrit Cole scattered four hits and struck out 10 in 6\u2154 stellar innings and Ben Rice had three RBI as the New York Yankees completed a three-game sweep with a 7-0 victory Wednesday night against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.<\/p>\n
Cole (1-0) did not yield a walk during his efficient 79-pitch outing as the Yankees beat the Royals for the 13th straight time. His second start of the year was even more impressive than his first, when he tossed six scoreless innings Friday versus Tampa Bay in his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery after the 2024 World Series.<\/p>\n
Rice and Paul Goldschmidt each had two hits and Ryan McMahon clubbed a two-run homer in the eighth for New York, which has won four straight. The Yankees outscored Kansas City 26-4 this week — and 50-10 while sweeping the six-game season series.<\/p>\n
Royals starter Noah Cameron (2-4) allowed two runs and four hits in five innings. Maikel Garcia poked two of the Royals\u2019 four hits as they dropped to 3-13 since May 10.<\/p>\n
Kansas City threatened Cole in the third, when Michael Massey roped a double into the right-field corner for the game\u2019s first hit. However, he was thrown out at the plate by Aaron Judge on Garcia\u2019s two-out single to right.<\/p>\n
Cameron, meanwhile, was perfect through the first three innings. Then Goldschmidt opened the fourth with a single to left, then scored on Rice\u2019s triple that went off the left-field fence and caromed away from Kansas City\u2019s Isaac Collins. Judge\u2019s sacrifice fly made it 2-0.<\/p>\n
Cameron\u2019s night ended after he yielded another single to Goldschmidt and walked Rice to open the sixth. However, John Schreiber got Judge to ground into a 6-4-3 double play and Cody Bellinger to fly out.<\/p>\n
The Yankees loaded the bases with nobody out in the seventh. Nick Mears got Jose Caballero to line out and fanned Austin Wells, but he walked Goldschmidt to force home a run. The Royals brought in reliever Alex Lange, but Rice broke things open with a two-run single to right.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
