Ryan McMahon, who had been struggling early in the season, made a significant impact in the New York Yankees’ 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on April 17, 2026. After entering the game as a defensive replacement, he hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, regaining the lead after the Yankees had tied. Cam Schlittler pitched effectively, allowing just one unearned run, while David Bednar closed out the game. This win marked only the Yankees’ third victory in their last ten games and extended the Royals’ losing streak against them.
