Royals strand nine runners in 5-2 loss to the Yankees

The Royals went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, leaving nine runners on base in a 5-2 loss to the Yankees on Saturday night. Every hitter in the starting lineup collected at least one hit, as well as Dairon Blanco, who entered the game in the fourth inning, but the Royals had trouble getting runners in all night. Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a walk, but was caught stealing as he attempted to get his 50th stolen base of the year. The loss is the 106th of the season for the Royals, tying the club record for most losses in a season, set by the 2005 squad.
