I said I wasn’t going to watch this afternoon’s game against the Royals and I meant it. I’m happy to say that the Yankees made me look foolish for making that decision, as they crushed Kansas City in the series opener on the strength of way too many homers and a solid outing by Nathan Eovaldi.
Jeremy Guthrie got the ball for KC today and he had absolutely nothing. The bottom of the 1st went like this for New York: leadoff double, 2-run home run, single, walk, 3-run home run, flyout, groundout, HBP, single, 3-run home run, single, walk, K.
