Jasson Domínguez delivered a dramatic three-run double to propel the New York Yankees to a 4-2 comeback win over the Kansas City Royals, but the story didn’t end at second base. The 22-year-old outfielder, nicknamed “The Martian,” went 3-for-3 at the plate, capping a four-run rally in the sixth inning that erased a 2-0 deficit and put the Yankees ahead for good. His clutch hit came off Royals reliever Angel Zerpa, and in the process, Domínguez’s helmet—and apparently his contact lenses—went flying, forcing manager Aaron Boone to remove him from the game moments later.
Max Fried continued his strong start to the season, improving to 3-0 after striking out seven and allowing just two runs over 2/3 innings. Fried praised Domínguez’s poise and defensive improvements, noting the young star’s increasing confidence and impact on both sides of the ball.
The Yankees’ late-game defensive switch paid off, as Trent Grisham made a key catch to preserve the lead. With this win, the Yankees have now taken of their last series against the Royals, underscoring their dominance in the matchup.
As fans buzz about Domínguez’s breakout performance and the mysterious mid-game exit, all eyes are on the Yankees as they aim for a sweep in the series finale.
