The Kansas City Royals once again struggled offensively, managing just one extra-base hit in a 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday.
Kansas City wasted no time against Clarke Schmidt in his first major league start of the season. Bobby Witt Jr. roped a single before Vinnie Pasquantino walked on five pitches. On 1-0, Salvador Perez got a backup sweeper and yanked it into left field to score Witt. They had a chance for a big inning with two runners on and one out, but Maikel Garcia just missed a hanging breaking ball and MJ Melendez struck out to end the inning.
