Yankees Defeat Royals 4-3 in 11 Innings

Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered a walk-off single in the 11th inning, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium. The win allowed the Yankees to extend their lead in the American League East to 1.5 games over the Baltimore Orioles. Juan Soto contributed significantly with a two-run homer in the sixth inning, marking his 39th of the season, despite a scare after fouling a ball off his foot. The game was tightly contested, with the Yankees struggling offensively until the late innings, but ultimately, their bullpen, particularly Luke Weaver, held the Royals scoreless in the extra frame. Chisholm's game-winning hit came after an intentional walk to Aaron Judge, allowing pinch-runner Jon Berti to score from third base. The Yankees now prepare to face the Boston Red Sox in a four-game series following this hard-fought victory.
