 Yankees 10, Royals 7
Brett Gardner delivered the tiebreaking double with one out in the
bottom of the eighth inning as the New York Yankees overcame three
home runs by Kansas City Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain in their
10-7 victory.
Ben Gamel began the winning rally when he reached on an error by
shortstop Alcides Escobar, who could not handle the hop on the
ground ball. Two pitches later, Gardner lined a 1-0 pitch from
Kelvin Herrera (0-1) to center field and Escobar cut off the relay
throw as Gamel slid in feet first while his helmet came off.
The Yankees (13-18) won for the fourth time in five games and needed

not keep Cain in the ballpark.

seven shutout innings as Cleveland squared the three-game series
with a shuout win at Minute Maid Park.

strikeouts.

Colorado and add to the Rockies' misery at home.
The victory was the fifth straight for the Diamondbacks, who will
try to sweep the three-game series on Wednesday.
