NEW YORK — Rookie Anthony Volpe hit his first career grand slam to cap a seven-run fifth inning and the New York Yankees pulled away for an 11-3 rout of the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday to complete their first series sweep this season.
Heading into a four-game series against the MLB-best Tampa Bay Rays, the Yankees have won three straight for the first time this season.
"This is just getting us ready for another big series here with the Rays," Aaron Judge said. "We were kind of back and forth down there at the Trop (Tropicana Field) and we're looking forward to it.
