Game 132 - Kansas City Royals at New York Yankees

May 27 at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY
YES Network

So, the Yankees allowed 30 runs and got swept by the Texas Rangers at home, then turned around and scored 23 runs to sweep the best team in the American League, including Wednesday afternoon's 4-2 victory.

Baseball makes a ton of sense.

New York also held a really good KC offense to four runs in the three-game set, which was capped by Michael Pineda's 6 2/3-inning, one-run performance. The Royals went up 1-0 on Mike Moustakas' no-doubt, solo home run in the top of the first, but the Yankees got home runs from Brian McCann (solo into the second deck in the second inning) and Alex Rodriguez (3-run shot in the third).

KC has lost four straight for the first time since last August.

"Michael Kay got a DH day"

Usually when I watch the Yankees on YES, it's Michael Kay who ends up speaking the majority of the nonsense. Not on Wednesday.

Paul O'Neill:

(On broken bats) "Tell you what, when they die heroes there's nothing wrong with that"

and David Cone:

"That slider just kind of takes a seat, pulls up a chair"
"Chris Young, pitching like he's forever young this year"

Nicknames that aren't really nicknames

Cone - "Coney"
O'Neill - "Pauly"
Rodriguez - "A-Rod"
