Yankees can’t capitalize on chances as Royals even ALDS in Game 2: Takeaways

New York Times  

By Chris Kirschner, Brendan Kuty, Rustin Dodd and Tyler Kepner NEW YORK — The Kansas City Royals evened this American League Division Series with a 4-2 victory at Yankee Stadium on Monday, riding four singles by Maikel Garcia and stingy relief work behind Cole Ragans. Garcia — switched to the leadoff spot for Game 2 on Monday because manager Matt Quatraro said he “raises his level of competition a little bit in this atmosphere” — capped the Royals’ four-run rally with a run-scoring single in the fourth inning. Royals starter Cole Ragans struggled to find the strike zone to start Monday’s game, yet Aaron Judge struck out with runners on first and second, swinging through a fastball in the middle of the zone. One way to combat the lack of situational hitting is to slug, but the Yankees aren’t doing that either; they have just two home runs in this series — a two-run homer from Torres in Game 1 and a solo homer from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the ninth inning of Monday’s game. pic.twitter.com/gltAQu7EHz — Kansas City Royals October 8, 2024 Salvador Pérez crushed him for a leadoff home run, belting a 2-0, hanging slider deep into the seats in left field to tie the game at 1-1.
