Mandatory Credit: John Jones-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-1\">In 2024, the New York Yankees eliminated the Kansas City Royals from the postseason. Presently, only one of these clubs has consistently played like a playoff contender.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-2\">The American League East-leading Yankees eye a sixth straight win over the Royals when New York visits Kansas City in Tuesday night&#8217;s series opener.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-3\">Last year, Kansas City returned to the postseason for the first time since winning the 2015 World Series. However, after sweeping Baltimore in the wild-card round, the Royals managed just one win in the best-of-five division series versus New York.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-4\">A little more than two months into the 2025 campaign, the Yankees own the second-best record in the AL and entered Monday with a 4 1\/2-game lead in the East. That&#8217;s after allowing 21 runs in two straight losses against rival Boston.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-5\">&#8220;The message is: \u2018Just keep going,'&#8221; New York star Aaron Judge said. &#8220;&#8230; That&#8217;s baseball. Just go back to work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-6\">Kansas City, meanwhile, was 24-16 on May 9 but has averaged 3.3 runs while going 10-16 since. The Royals entered Monday fourth in the AL Central but won 7-5 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep at the hand of the lowly Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-7\">&#8220;You got to keep putting good at-bats together,&#8221; Royals manager Matt Quatraro said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-8\">Back in April, Kansas City scored just six runs while being swept at New York.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-9\">Judge went 7-for-10 with a double and a solo homer during that April series. Batting a major league-best .396, Judge had three hits, including his 22nd and 23rd home runs, during Sunday&#8217;s 11-7 home loss to the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-10\">&#8220;He&#8217;s probably the best hitter on the planet right now,&#8221; teammate Paul Goldschmidt told reporters.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-11\">Judge and the Yankees will get their first look at talented Kansas City rookie Noah Cameron (2-1, 0.85 ERA), who has been stellar in five career starts. The left-hander from nearby St. Joseph, Mo., has allowed just three runs while giving up 15 hits and 10 walks over 31 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-12\">Cameron yielded two hits over six scoreless innings Thursday, but the Royals&#8217; bullpen failed to hold a 3-0 lead in a 6-5, 10-inning loss at St. Louis. He&#8217;s the first pitcher since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981 to allow one or no runs while going six or more innings in his first five career starts.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-13\">&#8220;I&#8217;m just trying to, obviously, help us win, and pitch deep into the game. And, obviously, give us a chance,&#8221; Cameron told the MLB Network.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-14\">Fellow Royals rookie Jac Caglianone, who will play his first home game on Tuesday since debuting June 3, had four hits Sunday at Chicago after going 2-for-21 in his first five career games.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-15\">Caglianone and the Royals could again have their hands full against scheduled Yankees starter Max Fried (8-1, 1.78 ERA), who ranks among the AL leaders in wins and ERA. The left-hander showed off his dominance Thursday by limiting Cleveland to just one hit and two walks while striking out seven in a 4-0 New York win.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-16\">Against the Royals on April 15, Fried gave up five hits and two walks but fanned seven over 6 innings in the Yankees&#8217; 4-2 victory.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-17\">Kansas City star Bobby Witt Jr. is 2-for-6 with a double lifetime versus Fried. He&#8217;s also batting .345 with two homers and six RBIs in seven June contests.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-18\">&#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadspin | Yankees look to continue dominance over Royals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":68650,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
