The New York Yankees (10-9) and the Kansas City Royals (7-12) will play the 2nd game of their 3-game series on Saturday afternoon. The Yankees took game one on Friday night by the score of 4-2. Cam Schlittler had another strong outing for the Yanks. He went 6 innings and allowed just 1 unearned run. Ben Rice steadied the offense by going 2-4 with a home run and 2 RBIs. Ryan McMahon added a homer as well.
Saturday, Will Warren will get the start for New York. He has been steady through his 1st four starts. However, he is coming off a shaky one against the Angels in his last start. He did not complete 4 innings and allowed 4 unearned runs on just 3 hits. If he can get better help from his defense, he should be able to make it into the 5th in this one against the Royals.
Kansas City will counter with Noah Cameron. He is coming off a rough start as well. The White Sox tagged him for 5 runs on 6 hits. Luckily, his offense kept him out of the decision by scoring enough during his start. The Royals will need a quality start from him and that same type of offensive output here against New York.
The Royals are riding a 5-game losing streak currently. Things will not be easy here in the Bronx early Saturday afternoon.

Our New York Yankees vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Yankee faithful are dying for their team to put two wins together. They have not done so since early in the month. They should have their best chance here against a Royals team that is really struggling. They have scored 2 or less runs in 3 of their last 5 games. We like Will Warren to get the job done here at home and help the Yanks get their 2nd straight win.
