YANKEES 0
ROYALS 7
Thursday night in Kansas City, the Yankees win streak came to an end with a 7-0 loss to the Royals. Kei Igawa picked up the loss, and the Yankees bats were no where to be found.
Igawa allowed 5 runs on 7 hits. He walked two and struck out five, hitting a batter and throwing a wild pitch. Igawa was hurt most by a four-run second inning, which featured RBI triples by Mark Grudzielanek and Tony Pena plus a two-run double by center fielder David DeJesus. The Royals sent eight men to the plate in the inning against Igawa. Hopefully, Phil Hughes will be up here sooon…and we can say Syanara …or however you spell it!! lol
Offensively, the Yankees bats were finally quieted. Playing his first game for the Yankees, Jose Molina had hits in his first two at-bats but grounded into an inning-ending double play in the sixth, wasting a two-on, one-out opportunity. The Yankees only had 6 hits.
The Yankees did however win 3 out of 4 games in the series, which is what they needed to do. Next up…the Baltimore Orioles. the Yankees will start on Friday at 7:00pm by playing the final inning of the game which they lead 8-6 that was suspended earlier this year, and then play game 2.
GAME NOTES:
IGAWA: 5.2 IP, 7H, 5ER, 5 SO
MOLINA: 2-4
CABRERA: 2-4
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
