Royals vs. Yankees, Game 33 GameThread

The slide has continued. Despite hitting a bunch of home runs yesterday, the Royals (or should I say Lorenzo Cain) could not pull out the victory. New Yankee Stadium is giving them fits this go-round.

Losing this series to the Yankees while the offense is breaking out but the defense and pitching are letting us down would be strange. I'd rather not deal with that feeling internally.

Tonight's game is on ESPN and FSKC. Yordano Ventura starts for the Royals against Michael Pineda. Pineda's strikeout and walk rates are pretty good, but he's been giving up dingers this season like the Royals pitchers have this series.
