KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There are homecomings and there are home-run comings.
Luke Voit put on a Show Me State exhibition for his loyal fans in his home state. Voit blasted a 470-foot, two-run home run to left field in the seventh inning Saturday at Kauffman Stadium to break a 3-3 tie and boost the Yankees to a 7-3 win over the punchless Royals in the first game of a doubleheader.
The Yankees rode that wave to a sweep with a 6-5 win in the nightcap.
That 470-foot calculation was a Statcast guesstimate.
