Live Updates: Kansas City Royals vs. New York Yankees (Game Two)

The Royals’ home series against the New York Yankees, the leaders of the American League East, got off to a sour start on Monday night. However, the four-game set is still anyone’s to win entering the Tuesday rematch at Kauffman Stadium. The Yankees (47-21) won 4-2 on Monday night.

Kansas City (39-28) lost Hunter Renfroe to a toe fracture during the contest, and the team could not come all the way back from a 4-0 hole. Renfroe is now on the 10-day injured list, and the club also placed Adam Frazier on the bereavement list. Correspondingly, outfielder Drew Waters and infielder Nick Pratto were called up from the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers.

Waters is in the starting lineup Tuesday, batting seventh and playing right field. It will be his first game action of the 2024 season in the majors. On the hill for the Yankees will be right-hander Marcus Stroman, who is 5-2 with a 3.04 earned run average. Kansas City and manager Matt Quatraro are set to counter with fellow righty Brady Singer. Singer is 4-2 with an ERA of 2.76. It will be up to him to stop the high-powered Yankee lineup.
