Kansas City believed it had tied the game in the seventh as Jorge Soler raced for the plate on Alcides Escobar's slow bouncer up the middle, fielded by second baseman Starlin Castro. Escobar was initially ruled safe at first, but that call was overturned after review.
Jorge Bonifacio hit a solo home run and Escobar delivered a run-scoring double off Yankees starter Michael Pineda, who worked 6 1/3 innings for the victory.
