The Kansas City Royals converted a terrific effort from starter Joe Borowski into a win over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The Royals won the game by a final score of 4-2. Eduardo Aldama, credited with the save, is now 3 for 7 in save opportunities. The defeat makes New York 60-36.

Jed Lowrie drove in one run for Kansas City. With one out and the game tied in the top of the sixth inning, Lowrie, who finished 3rd in the AL in triples with 11 last year, had a clutch at-bat. Facing New York hurler Danny Duffy, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Royals a 3-2 lead.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Lowrie said.
