The best thing we can say about this game is that it was quick. It took Seth Lugo and the Royals a little less than two and a half hours - would have been even shorter without 'God Bless America' - to dismantle a Yankee lineup that put up 10 runs the night before.
Seven shutout innings lowered Lugo's sterling 3.05 pregame ERA and paced Kansas City to a 5-0 win on Tuesday night. Marcus Stroman was pretty impressive in his first two innings, working around a single and catcher's interference in the first with two strikeouts.
Mark Leiter Jr. has now allowed at least one earned run in eight of his 16 outings with the #Yankees since the trade deadline. He just gave up a solo home run to Tommy Pham in the seventh as the Royals expand on their late lead.
Tim Mayza also gave up a run, but as much as I want to be disgruntled by the pitching, you're not gonna win very often.
