New York Yankees series against Colorado Rockies

Overview

The New York Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies during a series in September 2026.

In the initial matchup, the Yankees secured a 6-1 victory driven by rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr., who hit his first career grand slam in the third inning. This achievement made him the “second-youngest Yankee in history to achieve the feat,” trailing only Mickey Mantle. Starter Will Warren pitched six innings with eight strikeouts to earn the win, supported by solo home runs from Luis García Jr. and Cody Bellinger. Aaron Judge also recorded two singles in his second game following a return from a broken rib.

The Yankees followed this with a 10-3 victory, highlighted by Anthony Volpe hitting a grand slam and driving in a career-high five runs in his Major League return. Recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Volpe transitioned to second base to cover for Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb sprain. While Volpe received a standing ovation, manager Aaron Boone noted the player's ability to adapt to the new defensive position. The sweep moved the Yankees within three games of the Tampa Bay Rays for the top of the American League East division.
