Yankees sweep Royals, 6-4

The Yankees beat the Royals, 6-4, to complete a three-game sweep at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City has now lost 8 of 10 after climbing back to .500 at 5-5.

This one was winnable, too. After falling behind 1-0 on an Aaron Judge home run that almost went onto the highway, the Royals scored the next four runs, going up 4-1 through four innings and seemingly being in control.

Michael A. Taylor led off the third with a game-tying home run against Luis Severino. Cam Gallagher singled to center, though he hurt his hamstring on the jog to first and had to eventually exit the game.
