Behind a dazzling start from Seth Lugo, the Royals evened up the series with a 5-0 shutout over the Yankees. It’s Kansas City’s third shutout in the last week.
Even though Lugo didn’t need much run support on Tuesday, the Royals made sure Yankees starter Marcus Stroman was dealing with a lot of base runners.
After failing to cash in during the first two innings, Kansas City finally broke through in the third. With one out and one on, Bobby Witt Jr ripped an RBI-single to left field to make it 1-0. Moments later, Salvador Perez smoked an RBI-double to extend the lead to two.
