Michael King Is Starting, Danny Duffy Is Returning, Starting As New York, Kansas City Continue Their Series Tonight In Bronx New York

Michael King is starting for New York!

Michael King who is a right handed pitcher for New York comes into the game with a record of 0-3 with an earn run average of 4.08.

Why?

King scattered five hits and two walks across 4 1/3 innings last time out, aided by the Yankees’ second triple play of the season in the first inning. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in three of his past four outings (all starts).

Danny Duffy is returning, starting for Kansas City!

Why?

Because unlike Michael King Danny Duffy has been on the injured list for 37 days with a left forearm flexor strain, an injury that he battled through over his first few starts, which also happened to be one of the best stretches of his career. The veteran lefty posted a 1.94 ERA in seven starts (41 2/3 innings), holding batters to a .222 average.

First baseman Luke Voit produced in his return from the injured list from Grade 2 oblique strain.

Why?

Because of replay!

But New York didn’t win the game because instead they lost by a score of 6-5!

Why?

Because reliever Jonathan Loaisiga gave up a four run run frame that included four singles and a double and only recorded two outs.

Jonathan Loaisiga had this to say about his relief appearance!

Frustrating night for me. I lost the game,” Loaisiga said through an interpreter. “Gerrit Cole threw a great game, and I lost that for him. ... My sinker wasn’t moving the way I would like it to move; it was staying more in the zone. ... It’s tough when your best pitch is not working the way you want it.”

And New York was 0-10 with runners in scoring position.

Kansas City who is a member of the American League Central comes into the game with a record of 33-38!

Why?

Because they won the opening game of the three game series in Bronx New York by a score of 6-5!

Why?

Kansas City knocked in four runs off Yankees reliever Jonathan Loaisiga after managing just three hits and two runs in seven innings against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. The big inning overcame the one-run deficit Jake Brentz had put the Royals in during the seventh and gave them enough insurance to hold on, even as the Yankees stormed back against Kyle Zimmer in the bottom of the eighth.
