Royals Beat Yankees, 5-2
April 8th, 2008 | Categories: News
The Yankees are back at .500 (4-4) after losing to the Royals today. Conditions were horrible for pitchers, with a lot of wind. Phil Hughes only pitched for three innings, allowing three runs and six hits in the process. Ross Ohlendorf came in for another three innings after Hughes, and gave up four hits and two runs. BIlly Traber and LaTroy Hawkins both pitched a scoreless inning each after that.
The Yankee offense was not able to overcome the 5 runs put up by Kansas City. They combined for seven hits and only two runs. Alex Rodriguez had a notably bad day with four strikeouts. Tomorrow is the rematch against the Royals at 8:10 EST. Ian Kennedy will face off against Zack Greinke. The game will be aired on YES.
