KANSAS CITY, — Dominican Pablo Reyes starred in the most electrifying play of the night by scoring the only run of the game in the eighth inning, leading the New York Yankees to a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals. With the win, the New York team completed the three-game sweep and left their perfect record of 6-0 against the Royals in the 2025 season.

The Yankees' mound corps shone again, with starter Will Warren and four relievers limiting the Royals to just five hits. Mark Leiter Jr. (4-3) was credited with the win after getting a key out, while Devin Williams earned his ninth save of the season.
With the victory, the Yankees improved their record to 42-25, the best of the year for them by placing 17 games above .500. In addition, they lead the Major Leagues in away record with a 21-13 record.
The game was delayed 28 minutes due to rain in the top of the sixth inning, but the pace of play was not affected by the brief weather delay.
