The New York Yankees look to continue their winning ways as they gun for their second straight win against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday at Kaufmann Stadium. The Yankees (47-21) are still the top dog in the ultra-competitive AL East, though they are just 2.5 games ahead of the second placer Baltimore Orioles (43-22) in the standings. The Royals also boast an impressive winning record of 39-28 but they have lost 9 of their last 14 assignments, sending them 4.5 games below the current AL Central leader, the Cleveland Guardians (42-22). Over the last 15 days, the Yankees are hitting .244/.327/.430 with 69 runs while maintaining a 3.36 ERA. The Royals are batting .256/.313/.429 with 63 runs and 5.09 ERA.
