Amed Rosario's Two-Homer Night Powers Yankees Past Athletics
New York – In a dramatic Tuesday night showdown at Yankee Stadium, infielder Amed Rosario delivered a career‑defining performance, belting two home runs to propel the Yankees to a 5‑3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Rosario’s first blast came in the second inning, but it was his eighth‑inning, three‑run, go‑ahead shot that sealed the win.
Manager Aaron Boone, who had been leaning on third‑baseman Ryan McMahon against right‑handed pitchers, opted to start Rosario after McMahon’s 2‑for‑23 slump. Boone praised Rosario’s work ethic and clubhouse energy, a decision that paid off in a clutch moment.
The veteran Yankees rallied behind Rosario’s heroics, with the team’s veterans and younger players combining for timely hits that set the stage for the decisive homer. After the game, Rosario thanked his teammates, emphasizing the collective effort that enabled the comeback.
The win restores New York’s momentum early in the season and showcases Rosario’s emerging role as a reliable catalyst in the Yankees’ lineup.
