The Bronx blues continued for Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis.
The Royals couldn’t keep the momentum going from a stellar all-around outing on Thursday night, as they fell 6-2 to the Yankees in front of an announced 39, 668 at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.
The loss stopped the Royals from putting together their second three-game win streak of the season, and it evened up the four-game series at one game apiece heading into Saturday afternoon’s tilt.
