April 20, 2019 NEW YORK -- The Yankees hit four home runs Saturday, tied for their second-most in a game this season. They would've had five if not for a fan-interference call against Gleyber Torres. Ultimately, that extra home run did not matter, as the Yankees cruised to a 9-2 win over the Royals at Yankee Stadium -- but with plenty of concern for slugger Aaron Judge. The homers started early, with Judge hitting a solo home run in the first inning as the second batter of the game against Royals starter Heath Fillmyer. There mood shifted in the sixth inning, though, when Judge exited with a left oblique injury after hitting a single. The Yankees' nine runs were their second-most in any game this season, trailing only the aforementioned seven-homer game, when they scored 15 runs. And aside from the Judge home run, they did not come from the usual suspects. Clint Frazier homered in the second inning, his career-best fifth home run of the season. Entering 2019, he had four career home runs in 54 games. Frazier has capitalized on opportunities for increased playing time given the state of the Yankees' roster. His three-hit game Saturday, including a home run, double and single, was just another example of that -- and it couldn't have come at a better time for the club. After Torres' home run was overturned in the third, Mike Tauchman and DJ LeMahieu added home runs in the fourth inning. For LeMahieu, it was his first home run since joining the team. Tauchman's production could be particularly important moving forward, too, with Judge expected to require a trip to the injured list. Tauchman could be a candidate to play in the outfield in Judge's place. Boone noted the importance of having players like Tauchman and Frazier to step up. That depth will continue to be tested next week as the Yankees embark on a nine-game West Coast road trip. Beginning Monday night, they'll visit Mike Trout and the Angels for four games before traveling to San Francisco and Arizona. Their next home game is May 3 against the Twins. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF4Uo-Z76hs

Spencer Torkelson's power stroke has arrived. And by the look of it, it’s here to stay. Torkelson, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft and the Tigers’ No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline in ‘22, notched the fifth multihomer game of his young career in Thursday night’s 10-3 win at Yankee Stadium. Torkelson, who was best known for his 70-grade power tool, blasted a pair of two-run homers in his first three plate appearances in the series finale. The sophomore standout’s power surge helped the Tigers halt the Yanks’ season-high-tying five-game win streak and snap their own eight-game losing skid in the Bronx (dating back to April 2021). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKXadLQ5Klc
