Royals host Yankees (game III)

The Royals go for the sweep of the Yankees tonight at 7:10. John Bale (0-1, 5.68 ERA) makes his second of the year and pitching for the Yankees is veteran Andy Pettitte (0-1, 5.40 ERA). The Royals last swept the Yankees in a series at the K back in May-31 thru June 2nd. That was the first series for Buddy Bell as he took over for Tony Pena, ah, good times.

Update: The game is currently in a rain-delay in the bottom of the 4th with the Yanks up 2-1.

Box Score

Not much to say here, Andy Pettitte handled the Royals line-up pretty well last night allowing 1 run in 6.2 innings. Teahen had 3 hits and Butler moved his hitting streak to 9 games.

John Bale seems to be consistent in his mediocrity throwing 6 innings and allowing 4 runs. The Royals defense was shaky on several occasions throughout the game. Lets hope it's not a new trend.
