Tommy Pham, Garrett Hampson, and Maikel Garcia each singled to drive in runs as part of the 4-run 4th for Kansas City. The Yankees did not help themselves Monday night as they stranded 8 baserunners. Carlos Rodon took the loss for the Yankees while Angel Zerpa came on in relief of Cole Ragans in the 5th to claim the win for KC.
