Well I told you in yesterdays blog that it would be a close game last night and indeed it was. As the Royals Broxton helped lay the smack down in a 4-3 victory over the Yankees. The Royals also broke a 10 game losing streak at home. Key factors to the win, well for starters the Royals scored early when Moustakas hit his 5th dinger of the season to put the Royals up 1-0 in the second. Then they never looked back from there, when the Yankees scored the Royals scored. That is something they lacked in the previous month and started getting better at towards the end. Its finally starting to kick in for these young guys, Danny Duffy pitched 5 1/3 innings only giving up 1 earned run to Robinson Canoe. Dyson, Hosmer, and Moustakas all went 2 for 4, while Moose hit a home run in the bottom of the second. Then Defensively the Royals played out standing. As the Royals turned 2 double plays in the game and the one that Really saved them was when Getz scooped it up bare handed, flopped it to Escobar who threw a steaming hopper over to Hosmer, who caught it off of a awkward bounce, for a double play that Got Broxton out of a big Pickle. Broxton would Go on to get the save, and the Royals would Collect their first win at home this season.
Tonights match up is between CC Sabathia and Bruce Chen. I call this one being a close game as well since you have an 0-3 pitcher in Chen, taking on a pitcher who is 3-0 in Sabathia. If the boys in blue can Play like they did last night, then we will have a great series at Kauffman. Tune in tonight at 7:10 and cheer on your Royals as they host the Yankees on FSN KC.
