The New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals on Sunday to complete a sweep in the Bronx. Anthony Rizzo led the way for the boys in pinstripes by going 4-for-4 with his first home run since May 20. After the game, he took time to praise Taylor Swift after switching his walk-up song to "...Ready For It?"
When Rizzo was asked about switching his walk-up music, he praised Swift and said, "It's her summer, really. She's helping the economy in every city she goes. Yeah, that was good."

Rizzo has struggled mightily in June. Entering Sunday's contest he was hitting .131 with a .209 on-base percentage and slugging .148. His OPS was a woeful .356. Maybe channeling his inner Taylor Swift will help turn things around.
