The Kansas City Royals weren’t able to complete a three game sweep of the New York Yankees as they lost 6-1 on Thursday night. Give the Royals credit however, they did take two of three against the loaded roster of the Yankees. Very good showing by the Royals!
John Bale pitched six inning and gave up four earned runs on eight hits and to take the loss. He did give up one home run to Melky Cabrera in the game. Hideo Nomo came in to pitch the final three innings and he gave up two earned runs that were both solo home runs. Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada both went deep in the 9th inning off of Nomo.
The only offense the Royals got was in the 1st inning as Jose Guillen doubled and scored Mark Teahen. Other then that, the Royals offense was pretty silent the entire game.
