Eighth inning rally lifts Royals past Yankees, 6-5

The Royals showed some teeth on Tuesday night, battling back from an early hole and taking down the Yankees, 6-5.

Brady Singer gave up two home runs in the first two innings. He didn’t get out of the fourth. But the Royals’ offense came alive after falling behind early, and the charge was led by the newly-recalled Ryan O’Hearn.

In the third, Whit Merrifield hit an RBI groundout to bring the Royals within one at 2-1. O’Hearn swatted a line drive home run the next inning, tying the score. It’s his fourth big fly of the year.
