Yankees 6, Royals 3: Bronx Bombers clobber Chris Young for five homers in victory

Carlos Beltran led the way with a pair of blasts as the Yanks rocked the Royals and closed out the game with Aroldis Chapman's debut.

The Yankees have been strangely lacking in the home run department early on in 2016. Entering Monday night's game, only three teams in baseball had fewer dingers than the Yankees' total of 25. However, the offense found salvation tonight in the perfect source, Kansas City Royals starter Chris Young. The tall righty had already surrendered eight homers in just six starts this year. Thanks to the likes of Phil Hughes, Yankees fans know all too well about what happens all too often when a homer-happy pitcher has to pitch in Yankee Stadium.
