With the New York Yankees winning three of four against the Seattle Mariners, they went into beautiful Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, hoping to win this first game against the Royals to set up another series win. The Yankees are 8-2 in their last ten games and 6 games behind the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Instead, in the early morning end, what they got was one of the wildest games of the season. The Yankees won in the eleventh inning, 8-5.
Another strong outing for Jameson Taillon
Jameson Taillon, who was named the pitcher of the month in July, continues to pitch well in August.
