Yankees complete series sweep of KC
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—Jim Leyritz and Jason Grimsley proved that the New York Yankees still had more than enough depth.
Grimsley pitched effectively in his first start in four seasons and Leyritz got his first hit of the year, a tiebreaking, base-empty homer in the seventh inning, as New York beat the Kansas City Royals 8-4 yesterday, sweeping the three-game series and wrapping up a 5-0 homestand.
"It was a really terrific week," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "We had a little different look out there. Grimsley gave us just what we needed, and we snuck through today."
After losing Chill Davis, Darryl Strawberry, Joe Girardi, Chad Curtis and Luis Sojo in the offseason, critics said the Yankees' depth — a strength as the team won three World Series titles in four years could hurt them this season.
ported that.
Five errors by backup third basemen and Leyritz the zero-for-11 start as the team's best right-handed batter off the bench sup
But Leyritz, starting consecutive games for the first time this season, led off the seventh and hit a home run to right-center field that gave the Yankees a 5-4 lead.
"That was a ball I wasn't coming close to the last couple of days," he said. "I just stayed with it. It's a big weight lifted off my shoulders."
Grimsley was forced into a starting role after Andy Pettitt went on the disabled list Thursday. Grimsley allowed two runs and six hits in five-plus innings.
Mike Sweeney went three for four with three RBI for the Royals, who came to New York having won eight of nine games. He hit a two-run homer, his league-leading seventh of the season, in the fourth inning and tied the game at 4-4 with an RBI single in the seventh.
"We had an opportunity to make a statement, and we didn't," Royals manager Tony Muser said. "It's a good indication of where we are and where we have to be. Not performing well here tells me we have a lot of work to do."
