NEW YORK -- Frustration did not permeate the home clubhouse at Yankee Stadium on Monday night. A bunch of wasted opportunities combined to squander the New York Yankees' chance to push the Kansas City Royals one loss from playoff elimination, but frustration did not surface in the quiet room. There wasn't any anger. Emotions were held in check.

The heavily favored Yankees instead exuded a cool confidence after their 4-2 defeat in Game 2, a result that shifted home-field advantage to the Royals in a best-of-five American League Division Series tied at one game apiece heading to Missouri for Game 3 on Wednesday.
