(The Bronx, New York) – The New York Yankees kicked off their home slate in dominant fashion Friday, rolling past the Miami Marlins 8-2 in their home opener at Yankee Stadium.
A lively Bronx crowd got exactly what it came for, as Aaron Judge led the charge with a standout performance. Judge went 2-for-3 with a home run, reached base multiple times, and drove in three runs, setting the tone early and energizing the stadium.
The Yankees’ offense didn’t let up, piling on runs with timely hitting and extra-base power throughout the game. Contributions across the lineup kept pressure on Miami’s pitching, while the Marlins struggled to find any sustained rhythm at the plate.
On the mound, Warren delivered a solid outing to earn the win, improving to 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA. Miami starter Pérez took the loss after allowing key early runs that gave New York full control of the game.
With the win, the Yankees improve to 6-1 on the season and open their home schedule with authority, giving fans an early glimpse of a lineup that looks poised to do serious damage in 2026.
