The Yankees completed a successful West Coast road trip by sweeping the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, securing a 7-5 comeback victory. Juan Soto, already having an exceptional season, showcased his prowess with two crucial home runs, including a game-winning two-run shot in the ninth inning. His performance not only fueled the Yankees’ win but also solidified their MLB-leading 42nd victory of the season.

Key contributors to the Yankees’ success included the top five hitters in their lineup, who combined for nine hits and all seven RBIs. Notably, Giancarlo Stanton’s ground-rule double extended the Yankees’ lead after Soto’s pivotal home run.

Despite Nestor Cortes struggling on the mound, the Yankees’ bullpen, led by Clay Holmes, delivered a stellar performance to secure the win. Holmes earned his 17th save of the season with a flawless ninth inning.

Juan Soto was rightfully awarded the game MVP for his impactful performance, which included two crucial home runs.

Looking ahead, the Yankees will return home after their nine-game road trip to face the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, with Luis Gil set to start for New York against Bailey Ober for the Twins.
