Ben Rice is on fire for the Yankees, leading the team with his bat and stepping up as Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton sit out. He’s smashed his 36th homer, hit multiple times in key games, and is batting nearly .400 over his last nine — even comparing his form to Tony Gwynn. Carlos Rodón pitched well too, giving up just one run over five innings while supported by a strong offense that pressured Padres’ Robbie Ray into early trouble. Rodón, recovering from elbow issues, is inching back toward peak form. Meanwhile, rookie Spencer Jones, a local kid who once won a home run derby here, is making his mark in center field after Trent Grisham’s injury, showing poise and power. The Yankees keep rolling — their 81st win guarantees they’ll finish above .500 for the 34th straight year, and they’re aiming much higher.
