A low-scoring game ended in heartbreak for the Kansas City Royals as they fell 4-3 in an 11-inning skirmish with the New York Yankees.
The Royals threatened immediately against Luis Gil. Bobby Witt Jr. lined a ball into the left-center gap that would have been a single for 99% of players, but Witt it turned into a double with his speed. Gil followed that by throwing nine straight balls, walking Salvador Perez and MJ Melendez and throwing ball one to Freddy Fermin before finally finding the zone. The Royals were unable to capitalize on the bases loaded with one out, however, as Fermin worked the count full before swinging through a very hittable slider and Michael Massey grounded out on the first pitch he saw to end the inning.
