The New York, Kansas City Opening Game Of Their Series Started Out As A Pitchers Duel Between Jameson Taillon, Carlos Hernandez Ended Up A Back And Fourth Affair Between New York, Kansas City Offense
The New York, Kansas City opening game of their series started out as a pitchers duel between Jameson Taillon, Carlos Hernandez for seven innings in Kansas City Missouri!
Why?
Because Jameson Taillon, Carlos Hernandez who started for New York, Kansas City pitched seven scoreless
Then it became a back and fourth affair between the two offenses!
Why?
Luke Voit knocked out Hernández in the seventh, but Kansas City answered with an unorthodox run -- fueled by an errant Jonathan Loaisiga pickoff throw and a questionable balk that prompted Aaron Boone’s fourth ejection of the season, with the manager watching on a television screen as Ryan O’Hearn lifted a sacrifice fly.
Aaron Judge put New York back in front by connecting on a tough eighth-inning slider from reliever Scott Barlow, chasing home Tyler Wade, but Loaisiga permitted two baserunners before Andrew Benintendi once again evened the game with a hit off Chad Green.
Kyle Higashioka, Brett Gardner drove in runs in the 10th, but so did Jarrod Dyson and Hanser Alberto, spoiling Clay Holmes’ attempt at his first career save.

Kansas City had an answer in the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th innings Monday night. Four separate times they found themselves trailing the Yankees as the innings went by, and each time, the Royals clawed back and found themselves in a tie game.

Though, it was New York who won the game in the eleventh inning by a score of 8-6!
Why?
Wandy Peralta closed out the four-hour, 52-minute extravaganza and recorded his third career save, though not without drama. Edward Olivares connected for an RBI single and Peralta faced the potential winning run in Carlos Santana, who grounded out. The Yankees are just the second MLB team to have four blown saves in one game, joining the Astros (9/28/1995).
And Kansas City who lost in the the game by a score of 8-6 in the eleventh inning!
Why?
Kansas City scored scored another run and had two on base in the 11th against Yankees reliever Wandy Peralta with singles from Edward Olivares and Hunter Dozier.
The up-and-down journey ended with Santana’s groundout that almost hopped over third baseman Rougned Odor.
