I’m not sure the Yankees and Royals enjoyed playing two on August 27, 1972.
The Yankees and Royals played a doubleheader on August 27, 1972. Seven hours and 28 minutes of game action later, the Yankees had swept the doubleheader, winning both game in crazy fashion.
In the first game of the day, Mel Stottlemyre was the starting pitcher for the Yankees. He allowed five runs in just 1.2 innings and was replaced by Wade Blasingame. Blasingame pitched 4.1 innings in relief, but allowed a run in the fifth, leaving the Yankees down 6-0.
