2000 Yankees Diary, August 2: Stifled by Stein and K.C.
Briefly

The Yankees began August 25 years ago with a victory but faltered against the Royals in their next game, suffering a 4-0 defeat. Pitcher Blake Stein dominated the Yankees, allowing only two hits throughout the game. Although Danny Neagle started strong for New York, the Royals capitalized on early opportunities, scoring three runs in the second inning. The Yankees couldn't recover and faced minimal threats as Stein cruised through the game, securing a forgettable night for New York.
Danny Neagle started his outing for New York by working around a couple of knocks, initially facing some pressure before settling into the game, but the damage had already been done.
Kansas City bats woke up against Neagle, starting the second inning with a double by Dave McCarty, leading to their early scoring opportunity and the eventual 4-0 lead.
