George Lombard Jr. made a memorable MLB debut for the Yankees by hitting a 392-foot home run in a 2-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, becoming the first Yankees shortstop to accomplish this feat. After the game, he exchanged memorabilia with fans who caught his first home run ball. Lombard, 21, also showcased his defensive skills by starting double plays. Meanwhile, outfielder Heliot Ramos made his debut, and both players replaced Anthony Volpe and Jasson Domínguez, who were optioned to Triple-A.
