Royals, Lopez Pin Bad Loss on Yankees
Spirited fans greeted the New York Yankees for their clash with the Kansas City Royals.

The exploits of second baseman Nicky Lopez helped the Kansas City Royals defeat the New York Yankees, 12-2. Lopez went 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The winner was Zac Gallen, who threw 85 pitches over 7 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 5 hits.

With Kansas City leading 2-0 in the top of the fourth, Lopez hit a bases-clearing double off New York hurler Eduardo Rodriguez. It was the 10th double of the season for Lopez and put his team ahead, 5-0.

New York manager Jeremiah Coggins called the blowout loss "just something that happens from time to time."

With the win, Kansas City raised its record to 64-36.
