The series victory continues to elude the Royals.
For the sixth time this season, the Royals looked to win a three-game series by taking a final contest. They failed for a sixth time, falling to the Yankees 10-1 on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium.
Tyler Austin did much of the damage, clubbing a pair of two-run homers off Royals starter Eric Skoglund. The Yankees belted four homers on the day and hit nine over the past two games.
The Royals didn’t offer much support, collecting their first hit off Yankees starter Sonny Gray in the fifth inning.
