Royals 9, Yankees 8
In a most improbable comeback the Royals rallied for 7 runs in the top of the 7th to tie the game up. Then, the Royals completed the comeback by getting a run in the 8th for the win. The rally in the 7th was capped by back-to-back 2 RBI Doubles by Tom Spoth and Felix Villalobos. Felix then scored on a WP to tie things up. In the 8th, John Palumbo drove home Mike Malin for the winning run with 2 outs.
Dan Cawley got the win by pitching 3 scoreless innings of relief. Dan gave up only 1 hit and K'd 3 Yankees.
Greg Kosc (2 for 5, Run, RBI), John Palumbo (2 for 4, Run, 2RBI), and Tom Spoth (3 for 4, Run, 2RBI) all had multi-hit games for the Royals.
For the Yankees, Adam Frauton, Jeff McHugh, and Dankey all had two hits a piece. Nick Stzensil belted a deep RBI triple in the 5th. |
