The Yankees fumbled their chances at a sweep mightily, getting clobbered by the Mariners 10-2 in an early rout with not much more to say about it. There wasn’t a whole lot of other MLB action going on alongside them, but there were a couple of notable teams that suited up on Thursday. Let’s dive into what the rest of the league did with their night:
Kansas City Royals (21-54) 6, Tampa Bay Rays (52-26) 5
You would hardly be blamed for not having any faith in the Royals entering this game. The Rays have more wins than anyone in baseball, and the Royals have more losses than the Rays do wins (and somehow, that doesn’t even qualify the Royals as the worst team in baseball).
