Seventeen.
That's how many home runs were hit in this appalling four-game series against the New York Yankees in The Bronx. Seventeen home runs. The Kansas City Royals, actually, had quite a few of those. But they're not a team built for this kind of play, in this matchbox of a stadium, with two clearly hurt starters (Kris Medlen and Chris Young, both of whom find themselves comfortably on the disabled list), and one of whom being Ian Kennedy. From 5:30pm central earlier this evening:
The starter for these Royals is Ian Kennedy, who has been nothing short of stellar.
