Royals Deal Yankees 6-3 Defeat
The Kansas City Royals topped the New York Yankees, 6-3, in American League action at Yankee Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Kansas City pitcher Jesus Luzardo. John McMillon finished to wrap up his 3rd save. At 4-1, the Royals have played well so far.

Bobby Witt Jr. had a big 2-run double for the Royals in the top of the fifth inning. With Kansas City leading 3-0 and the bases loaded, he got a slider from 30-year old left-handed pitcher Victor Gonzalez and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 5th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 5-0.

"Jesus did a heck of a job," said Kansas City manager Miguel Centena.
