Game Preview
The New York Yankees, leading the American League East by a slim margin, will host the Kansas City Royals in a pivotal three-game series starting Monday. The Yankees, with a record of 82-61, edged out the Chicago Cubs in their recent series and sit just half a game ahead of the Baltimore Orioles.
Meanwhile, the Royals, at 79-65, have bounced back from a losing streak with four consecutive wins, including a sweep of the Minnesota Twins, capped by a 2-0 win on Sunday. They currently hold a 2 1/2 game lead over Minnesota for the second wild card spot in the AL Central.
Tommy Pham, newly acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals, has made an immediate impact as the Royals’ leadoff hitter, contributing significantly in his first seven games with the team.
On the Yankees’ side, all eyes are on Aaron Judge as he seeks to end a 12-game homerless streak, his longest of the season. Despite this, he continues to hit well, with manager Aaron Boone noting his near misses.
Juan Soto, another key Yankees player, struggled in the series against the Cubs, highlighting the team’s need for offensive consistency.
Kansas City’s starting pitcher for Monday, Brady Singer (9-10, 3.35 ERA), looks to overcome recent challenges, having lost four of his last six starts despite strong strikeout numbers. He has historically struggled against the Yankees, holding an 0-2 record and a 5.19 ERA in five starts against them.
The Yankees will counter with Carlos Rodon (14-9, 4.19 ERA), who is coming off a strong performance against the Texas Rangers, striking out 11 and allowing only one run. Rodon has fared better at home this season, boasting an 8-2 record in Yankee Stadium.
The matchup also marks the potential return of Yankees utilityman Jon Berti, who has been sidelined with a calf strain. His versatility is a valued asset for New York as they push for a strong finish to the season.
