After a cross-city road trip for the Subway Series against the Mets, the Yankees will return to their home confines for a set against the Royals starting tonight. Kansas City is in the midst of what will likely be another losing season, currently sitting well below .500. When the two teams previously met in Kansas City, the Yankees swept a three-game series, outscoring the Royals 21-6. They’ll look to continue that run as the teams resume their season battle tonight.
Meanwhile, the teams have just had some dealings off the field just last night, making a trade for outfielder Andrew Benintendi.
