The New York Yankees came into Kauffman Stadium and laid a smackdown on the Kansas City Royals. The Yankees won 10-2 on Tuesday night, 6-3 on Wednesday, and then stole a 1-0 decision on Thursday without Aaron Judge in the lineup.

Judge announced his presence with two homers at Kauffman Stadium. He blasted a 469 foot home run that landed atop the scoreboard in left field. And the Yankees outscored the Royals 17-5 in the series. New York has won eight consecutive matchups against the Royals after Thursday’s 1-0 victory.

The Royals did manage to score before the game ended, as Salvador Perez launched a two-run homer off Mark Leiter Jr. in the ninth after a routine popup fell in the Yankees’ infield. Leiter then gave away another run with a throwing error.
