The New York Yankees (32-22) and the Kansas City Royals (22-32) continue their three-game series tonight at Kauffman Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Yankees enter tonight\u2019s matchup against the Royals looking to build on last night\u2019s 4-3 come from behind win. Anthony Volpe <\/b>drove in the winning run with a clutch two\u2011run single in the ninth inning. Bobby Witt Jr.\u2019s<\/b> had broken a 2-2 tie with a home run in the eighth, but Kansas City closer Lucas Erceg<\/b> could not hold the lead for Kansas City. The win was the Yankees\u2019 twelfth in a row against the Royals.<\/p>\n
Tonight, the Yankees hand the ball to Cam Schlittler<\/b>, who takes the mound with a stellar 6\u20132 record and a 1.50 ERA. The Royals, meanwhile, are expected to deploy a bullpen game, leaning on a mix of relievers after Michael Wacha\u2019s<\/b> strong seven\u2011inning effort last night.<\/p>\n
Offensively, the Yankees will look to ride the hot bats of Cody Bellinger <\/b>(hits in three straight games and seven of his last eight) and Anthony Volpe<\/b> (6-20 over his last six games). For the Royals, Salvador Perez<\/b> and Bobby Witt Jr.<\/b> continue to anchor the offense. Perez tied the game in the sixth with his 136th career homer at Kauffman Stadium, matching George Brett\u2019s<\/b> stadium record, while Witt\u2019s eighth\u2011inning blast briefly put Kansas City ahead. Still, the Royals struggled with runners in scoring position, going 0\u2011for\u20117 in key spots\u2014an issue they\u2019ll need to correct to keep pace tonight.<\/p>\n
