And the Yankees put up 24 hits in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/game\/_\/gameId\/401815508\/yankees-royals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15-1 romp<\/a>, their most since a game against Baltimore in July 2011. But what set the performance apart from all others Tuesday night &#8212; including all those games played by Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle &#8212; was this simple fact: For the first time in their storied history, the Yankees got at least two hits from every single player in their starting lineup.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I did see all the hits on the board,&#8221; Boone said afterward, &#8220;and I was like, &#8216;Man, you don&#8217;t see that very often.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Picks<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The Yankees had the benefit of facing the Royals on a designated bullpen day. Struggling reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/4705677\/bailey-falter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bailey Falter<\/a> was first on the mound, and he allowed as many hits (seven) as he recorded outs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/5201985\/luinder-avila\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luinder Avila<\/a> wasn&#8217;t a whole lot better when he replaced him.<\/p>\n<p>The last of the hits came against outfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/4151063\/tyler-tolbert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tyler Tolbert<\/a>, who threw a steady diet of 44 mph pitches to get through the ninth inning.<\/p>\n<p>Yet that doesn&#8217;t take away from one of the impressive hitting performances in Yankees history. Their hit total tied for their eighth-most ever, and the 24 hits were their most in a road game since Aug. 31, 1974, in a game against the White Sox.<\/p>\n<p>The six homers were the most by a team in the majors this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The performance they put up today,&#8221; Yankees pitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/5134581\/cam-schlittler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cam Schlittler<\/a> said, &#8220;that was awesome to watch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The barrage began with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/33912\/cody-bellinger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cody Bellinger<\/a>&#8216;s second homer in as many days, a two-out shot in the first. But it really gained steam after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/31027\/paul-goldschmidt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul Goldschmidt<\/a>&#8216;s double, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/5016968\/ben-rice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ben Rice<\/a> hit a sinking liner to right field that Royals outfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/4926296\/jac-caglianone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jac Caglianone<\/a> lazily grabbed at grass level. Boone challenged the out call, and a review confirmed that the ball had touched the ground for an RBI single.<\/p>\n<p>Rosario came to the plate next and belted a two-run homer an estimated 420 feet to left field.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/42547\/anthony-volpe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anthony Volpe<\/a> added his first homer of the season in the second inning, and the Yankees piled on four more runs on a steady stream of singles in the third. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/33192\/aaron-judge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aaron Judge<\/a> provided an RBI double in the fifth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/34995\/trent-grisham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trent Grisham<\/a> went deep in the seventh, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/41433\/jazz-chisholm-jr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jazz Chisholm Jr<\/a>. &#8212; the last of the starters to get two hits &#8212; homered in the eighth and Rosario hit his second of the game in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>He sheepishly admitted that he was just trying not to strike out against Tolbert&#8217;s languid lobs to the plate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It feels good to be part of history,&#8221; Rosario said through a translator. &#8220;It&#8217;s a team effort and being part of it is great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees have now hit 82 home runs this season, by far the most in the majors. The Royals, by comparison, have hit 51, including the solo homer that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/42403\/bobby-witt-jr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bobby Witt Jr<\/a>. hit in the third inning for their only run of the entire game.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the 24 hits that the Royals allowed were the fourth-most in a game in franchise history. Rosario finished with four hits while Grisham, Rice, Volpe and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/4683349\/austin-wells\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Austin Wells<\/a> had three apiece. The rest of the starters each had two.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look,&#8221; Boone said with a smile, &#8220;as hard as hitting is &#8212; as hard as it is now, night in and night out &#8212; to have a day where everyone, you know, can fatten up a little bit, it&#8217;s good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 26, 2026, 11:44 PM ET KANSAS CITY, Mo. &#8212; Yankees manager Aaron Boone watched the hits begin to pile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30904,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_animmysite_disable_animation":false,"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2026%2F0527%2Fr1664267_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
