The New York Yankees topped the Kansas City Royals by a score of 9-7. Leading the way was third baseman DJ LeMahieu. LeMahieu was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Yankees. The Yankees bumped their record to 46-24 with this latest triumph. The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Gleyber Torres came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Jordan Lyles, he hit a first-pitch knuckle curve for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 6-5.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Torres, "and then get after it again."

My opener/follower strategy worked only ok and kept us in the game long enough to go into extra innings. New York just has some hitters that are hard to get out of the box on strikes.

We have had some close and good games with NY this series, but have yet to come out a winner. I’m hoping we get at least this last game.
Nick Loftin got hurt early with a leg injury while running the basepaths, so he’ll get a 10-day IL stint, and we’ll look to bring up David Schnieder, whom we picked up in a trade with Toronto during pre-season. He’s crushing right now in Triple-A, so he gets the call for now.
