Yankees' Austin Wells

In a commanding 8-0 victory over the Texas Rangers, the New York Yankees showcased strong performances from rookie catcher Austin Wells and pitcher Carlos Rodón. Wells drove in four runs, boosting his potential as a reliable cleanup hitter, while Rodón allowed only three hits over 5 2/3 innings, improving his record to 13-7. Aaron Judge also contributed significantly, reaching base four times and delivering his major league-leading 105th RBI, helping the Yankees tie for first place in the American League East. The Yankees' offensive output included 12 hits and a home run from Jazz Chisolm Jr., marking their ninth win in the last twelve games. Despite the victory, the game had a scare as Trent Grisham left after being hit by a pitch, but his X-rays returned negative. The Yankees' lineup appears to be gaining depth, alleviating pressure on Judge as they aim for a strong finish to the season.
