The Yankees celebrated their first grand slam of the season, hit by George Lombard Jr., during a 6-1 victory over the Rockies, marking a significant milestone for the team. Despite missing Aaron Judge for three months, they have hit 194 home runs this season, but none with the bases loaded until Lombard’s impressive third-inning slam. Judge, returning from injury, contributed with two singles, aiding in the Yankees’ push for a playoff spot. Lombard, at 21 years old, is the second-youngest Yankee to achieve this feat, showcasing his talent and maturity on the field.
