00:00Let's go to the nightcap in New York between the Yankees and the Royals.

00:07The Yankees rallying multiple times in game number one on Saturday evening.

00:11Alex Verdugo, the game winning RBI in the seventh.

00:15The Yankees come back to win six to five.

00:18And yesterday, Joe, with Carlos Rodon on the bump against Cole Regans, the all-star 4KC.

00:24The Yanks were nearly a dollar and a half favorite.

00:27Rodon was great in the opening two innings, but from there, a different story.

00:33KC Evans, the American League Division Series at one game apiece with a 4-2 victory in game

00:40number two.

00:41All four runs plated by KC in the top of the fourth against Rodon.

00:46The veteran, the experienced Salvador Perez got it started in the fourth with a solo shot

00:52and then plenty of small ball and base knocks from there to score three more runs.

00:57And the Yankees really couldn't muster much against Regans or anybody in that Kansas City

01:03bullpen.

01:04Jazz Chisholm didn't hit a home run late in the game for the second run for the Yanks,

01:10but it was all KC last night in the Bronx, 4-2 the win as an underdog in game two.

01:16We're tied in the game all as we head to Kansas City and Kauffman Stadium tomorrow.

01:21Yeah, I mean, listen, give credit to both lineups.

01:27The Yankees made Regan's work big time in that game, more so than he has.

01:31I mean, he had a ton of walks in that game.

01:34They took a ton of pitches.

01:35I mean, he had almost 90 pitches, I think, and by the fourth inning, they did exactly

01:40what they were supposed to do, except they went one for six with runners in scoring position.

01:45They're now three for 19 in these two games here with runners in scoring position, that

01:50being the Yankees.

01:51And the difference was that the Royals got the hits when they needed, when they had Rodon

01:57on the ropes.

01:58Rodon could not make a pitch to get out of the inning.

02:02Regans did.

02:03And that was the difference in the game, that one inning, because both bullpens came in

02:08and outside of that solo home run there that they gave up to Chisholm in the ninth inning,

02:14that bullpen was phenomenal, and so were the Yankees.

02:16They used seven relievers, didn't give up a run after that.

02:20But you can't go three of 19 in two games with runners in scoring position, Yankees,

02:26and think you're just going to sweep this Royals team, whose best player has still been

02:31MIA.

02:32He still has not had a good series.

02:35It's all the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth hitters that are getting it done for the Royals.

02:40And where are you?

02:42Where are you, Judge?

02:43Where are you, Soto?

02:44Where are you guys?
