For most of Tuesday night’s game, it appeared as if the Yankees would pick up a nice little victory. Jordan Montgomery tossed a gem, and the offense chipped in a couple of runs. That sounds like a pretty good combination, doesn’t it? Unfortunately the bullpen wilted and the Royals rallied to win by the score of 6 - 2.
Montgomery deserved better than this; he pitched a great game. The rookie southpaw held the Royals to one hit through six innings. The only damage came in the form of a seventh inning solo home run by Lorenzo Cain.
