KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s another night that Gerrit Cole and the Yankees could rest easy. After struggling in his first three starts, the Yankees ace had his second straight strong start as the Yankees shut out the Royals, 3-0, for their eighth straight win.
The Yankees (15-6) clinched their third straight series win. The eight-game winning streak is their longest since winning 13 in a row Aug. 14-27, 2021. It is just the fifth time since 1959 the Yankees have won at least 15 of their first 21 games of the season.
After hitting four homers on Friday, the Yankees had to do it without power on Saturday.
