Yastrzemski homered off Paddock’s first pitch for KC, contributing to the Royals’ early lead before Detroit’s rally.

Yastrzemski opened KC’s scoring with a first-pitch homer off Paddack, injecting early momentum into a game Detroit would answer. His power presence adds necessary punch to the Royals’ lineup atop a challenging stretch.

Yastrzemski delivered a six‐inning three‐run homer that stretched the Royals’ lead, capping a long night for the Sox. His power surge adds a notable seasonal lane for fantasy rosters that chase weekend pop, especially in lineups loaded with run production around him.

Yastrzemski represented Kansas City with a ground-rule double off Smith, the Royals’ lone blemish in a shutout, and he stands as the veteran catalyst in KC’s lineup as they navigate a stretch without much offensive consistency.

Yastrzemski opened the Royals’ third with a gap-splitting RBI double that helped spark six straight hits with two outs.
