Yankees beat the Royals 6-5 in an action-packed back and forth affair. In this game, the Yanks had to come back, they had to combat not getting the best out of Gerrit Cole or Aaron Judge and they had to rely on the bottom of the lineup in Alex Verdugo. Jake and Gary discuss why the Yankees won, why it's a big deal, why game two could follow suit and much more in this recap of the Yankees first playoff game of 2024.
