The KC Royals arrived in New York for their just-completed trio of games with the Yankees six games below .500 and 10 games behind first place Chicago in the American League Central. After Thursday’s 8-1 loss to the Yanks, which didn’t seem that close, little has changed, and none of it for the good.
The defeat gave New York the series win—they won the second game 6-5 after losing the first by the same score—and dropped Kansas City seven games under .500. The Royals fell another half-game behind the White Sox and are 10 games out of the Wild Card.
