00:00Clay Holmes on the bump for New York in the home half of the ninth, looking for a save.
00:05That's always a recipe for success for the Pinstripes.
00:09Mikel Garcia had other ideas for the Royals.
00:13A two RBI double to walk it off inside Kaufman as Casey avoids the sweep.
00:19They win 4-3.
00:20That's win number 40 for Kansas City on June the 13th.
00:26It took them until August the 18th a season ago to reach the 40-win benchmark.
00:31Yeah, but the pass watch in there too, getting that big base hit here with two RBIs certainly
00:35helping that problem.
00:36And then Garcia, the two RBIs as well.
00:38The one guy you can always count on, that didn't get an RBI yesterday, Bobby Witt again,
00:41on base three times, two for three at the plate, now hitting 330 on the season.
00:46He's been nothing short of sensational, but also I got to admit this, watching this game
00:49in the afternoon, I was somewhat surprised, obviously, that the New York Yankees weren't
00:54able to get to Marsh.
00:55But also when I watched that eighth inning and saw the Yankees take that 3-2 lead, I
00:58figured the game was over.
00:59I actually didn't find out that final score until a little bit later on, watching the
01:02Phillies game.
01:03I'm like, wow, how about that?
01:04Kansas City came back because it's one of those things where, ah, 3-2, good bullpen
01:07comes in for the Yanks.
01:08This game is a wrap.
01:09So good fighting effort for Kansas City to avoid that four-game sweep and get their 40th
01:14win of the season.
01:15But also, take a look at the New York Yankees.
01:17We know they're going to hit.
01:18Yesterday was the perfect scenario, though.
01:19I'm talking mid-80s, wind blowing out against a pitcher that you should be able to dominate.
01:23They weren't able to do so.
01:24But also on the opposite side, Nestor Cortez with a pretty good pitching performance for
01:28the New York Yankees.
01:29Seven innings pitched and two earned runs, lowering his ERA to around 3.5.
01:33That's pretty solid for him.
01:34So good win for the Kansas City Royals, but still some things you could take away from
01:38that pitching stand for the Yanks.
