The Yankees returned from a 26-minute rain delay to score eight runs in the eighth inning for an 11-5 win over the Royals on Friday.
The Yankees jumped off to an early 1-0 lead in the first when Anthony Rizzo homered off Kris Bubic. Aaron Judge would make it 3-0 with his MLB-leading 40th home run of the year.
But Bubic would pitch well otherwise, lasting six innings, his third consecutive start of at least 6+ innings. The lefty would allow just four hits and two walks, while striking out six, throwing 51 of his 81 pitches for strikes.
