As first career home runs go, Jorbit Vivas’ was as meaningful as it was memorable. Vivas jumped on the first pitch of the bottom of the fifth inning and deposited a 94 mph high fastball a few rows deep into the right-field seats Thursday to provide the only run of the Yankees’ series-sweep-clinching 1-0 victory against the Rangers.

Jorbit Vivas, 24, was acquired in a December 2023 trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, along with reliever Victor Gonzalez, for Trey Sweeney.

The Yankees broke Sunday's win over the Mets open in the eighth inning, scoring six runs to take the Subway Series rubber match.
