Shaking off the rust and literal jetlag from sleeping in Dulles Airport, the New York Yankees continued their winning ways against the Kansas City Royals. Taking two of three, New York won its eighth consecutive series for the first time since 1998, improving to a league-best mark of 30-13.
GAME 1
It was evident the layoff and layover in Washington didn’t help the Yankees cause in their 5-2 loss. Miscues in the field and “warning track power” made for a long night.
SHAKY GROUND
After a botched play in the first, an error by Gleyber Torres in the third, on a ground ball hit by John Jay, allowed another run to score and prolonged the inning.
