It looks like the New York Yankees have come back to their best. They have swept the series against the Oakland Athletics with fine performances consisting of some big scores. The offense is clicking and has a fine balance with Aaron Judge’s return. In the last game, they scored 11 runs, including a grand slam through Anthony Volpe.

The young player has often been compared to Yankees legend Derek Jeter, who was a master of clutch hitting. The importance of grand slams in baseball is immense. It helps teams get the maximum number of runs(four) in a single hit. This performance is an enormous boost for the Yanks, who will challenge the division leaders next.

Anthony Volpe hit his first grand slam!

The Yankees dominated the entire game from the start to the end. It was a complete team performance that assured them a big run. But it was special for Anthony Volpe, who claimed his first grand slam. His one hit guaranteed the Bronx Bombers a comfortable win. The Yes Network also shared it on their Twitter handle with the caption, “ANTHONY VOLPE GRAND SLAM!!”

A huge Jeter fan, Volpe has often spoken before about how the Captain inspired him to play in pinstripes too. And now that he has finally made it to the big leagues, his performance shows the potential he has. In the current season, Volpe has hit 4 home runs and has batted in 13 RBIs. His contribution comes at 15 runs at a fairly decent average of 0.205 and an OPS of 0.648.
