Coming off a win in the series opener against the Yankees, the Royals looked to earn at least a split and move above .500 on their current road trip.
Hoping for Jakob Junis to settle back in and find his groove, Kansas City didn’t get the start they were looking for from the 26-year old right-hander. Facing 19-year MLB veteran in C.C Sabathia, who started his 42nd game against the Royals, the offense couldn’t capitalize on some early defensive miscues from the Bronx Bombers.
Unable to hold an early lead in this one, the Yankees evened the series back up at one a piece by a score of 6-2.
