Yankees vs. Royals score: Live updates as Aaron Judge, Juan Soto go for 2-0 series lead in ALDS Game 2
The Yankees are without their No. 1 (Anthony Rizzo) and No. 2 (DJ LeMahieu) first basemen due to injuries. Oswaldo Cabrera started there in Game 1, but with the Royals starting ace lefty Cole Ragans in Game 2, the Yankees wanted the righty hitting Berti in the lineup, and are willing to live with the inexperience at first base.
