Read And Know More About Yankees vs Royals- KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After getting swept by the Tampa Bay Rays, the last team the Kansas City Royals need to see coming to town is the New York Yankees juggernaut. The Yankees, who have the best record in the majors, will open a three-game series Friday with the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. On paper it looks like a mismatch. The Yankees are 28-12, while the Royals are 13-30. Kansas City has lost five straight and seven of eight. After taking the Royals to the mountaintop — back-to-back World Series in 2014-15 and winning it all in the latter year — manager Ned Yost is doing his best to remain upbeat. “It’s something you have to work at,” Yost said. “It doesn’t come natural. I’ve had to tell myself in the middle of the game, ‘Shut up.’ You just got to understand the process and what we’re trying to accomplish, and what the boys are going through. “We’re not playing sloppy baseball. We’re not walking guys, making errors and making baserunning gaffes, and all the dumb stuff that ticks you off as a manager. But the guys are playing hard and playing good baseball.” They’re just not winning and are on target for a 100-plus-loss season. Recently, the starting pitching has betrayed the Royals. Opponents have scored in the first inning in six of the past seven games. Jason Hammel gave up three runs in the first in a 5-3 loss Wednesday to the Rays. The previous night, Ian Kennedy yielded three runs in the first when Tampa Bay batted around. “Beyond frustration, right now it’s just unacceptable, three spots every first inning,” Hammel said. “Just give them (our offense) a chance. We put their heads underwater every single day, and it’s tough to battle back every single game out. I’m obviously not very proud of the effort. I’ve just got to get better.” The Royals will start right-hander Jakob Junis in the series opener. He has been the Royals’ most reliable starter this season with a 3-2 record and a 3.53 ERA in eight starts. Junis faced the Yankees once last year as a rookie, permitting six runs in 5 2/3 innings in an 11-3 loss on the road.While the Royals are struggling, the Yankees are flexing their muscles. They lead the American League with 234 runs. KC has scored 173. And the Yankees are well rested, having not played since Tuesday — and that was suspended in the sixth with the score tied at 3 against the Washington Nationals. They were to resume Wednesday in Washington, plus play the regularly scheduled game. Those interleague contests were rained out and are scheduled to be made up June 18. With both teams off Thursday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who is the son of former Royals catcher and manager Bob Boone, revised his rotation. “It is a challenge, but one we’ve got to meet here,” Boone said. “Luckily, the guys in that room are really good at dealing with stuff. (Rainouts and rescheduling) are not perfect or ideal, but in the end, we’ll take advantage of it from a rest standpoint. It allows us to reset our ‘pen a little bit. We’ll just look at it as a good chance to rest some of our guys.” Veteran left-hander CC Sabathia was to start Wednesday, but instead he will start Friday. Sonny Gray, who was the Friday probable, will be pushed back to Sunday. Luis Severino, who was penciled in to start Sunday, will instead pitch Saturday. Domingo Germain, who was scheduled to start Saturday, will be available from the bullpen. He will likely start Tuesday at Texas. The 37-year-old Sabathia is 2-0 with a 2.23 ERA in seven starts this season. He has allowed 32 hits and struck out 28 over 36 1/3 innings. Royals All-Star catcher Salvador Perez and shortstop Alcides Escobar have a .154 average against Sabathia. Mike Moustakas is hitting .111 against him but does have a home run. Sabathia, who made his major league debut at the age of 20 in 2001 with the Cleveland Indians, has a 239-146 career record with a 3.68 ERA.KANSAS CITY, Mo. — C.J. Cron is playing well heading into a series against his former team. Cron homered and scored three runs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Kansas City 5-3 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep of the Royals. “He produced,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “I know the home runs are great and he’s done that throughout his career, but the at-bats he’s having, finding ways to get hits, and then he did it on the bases, too. He’s helped us a lot. I’m glad he’s getting hot at the right time to go into Anaheim.” The Rays acquired Cron in a February trade with the Angels, where his plate appearances were sporadic playing behind Albert Pujols. The Rays open a four-game series Thursday at Anaheim. “Just being in the lineup is nice,” Cron said. “I’m able to make the necessary adjustments you need to make to be successful at this level. We’re doing all right and we’ve been winning some games. It’s been good.” Cron extended his on-base streak to 22 games when he was hit by a pitch from Jason Hammel (0-5) in a three-run first that included Brad Miller’s RBI groundout and Adeiny Hechavarria’s two-run single. Cron homered leading off the third, then singled in the fifth and scored on Wilson Ramos’ double-play grounder for a 5-1 lead. Cron is hitting .319 with 19 RBIs in the 22-game streak. He has 10 of the Rays’ 37 homers. Tampa Bay had lost six of seven coming in but swept the Royals for the first time since winning four games from Aug. 8-11, 2011. The Rays had not swept a series in Kansas City since taking a three-game series from July 17-19, 2009. Kansas City has lost five straight and seven of eight, dropping to 13-30 for its worst 43-game start since opening with a 10-33 record in 2006. The Royals are 6-16 at Kauffman Stadium.Matt Andriese (1-1) allowed three hits in three scoreless innings. Alex Colome allowed Abraham Almonte’s leadoff single in the ninth, then retired three straight batters for his third save in three days and ninth in 11 opportunities. Staked to a 4-0 lead, Rays starter Jake Faria allowed three runs, four hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings. He gave up sacrifice flies to Alcides Escobar in the fourth and Mike Moustakas in the fifth, an inning that also included Jorge Soler’s RBI double. “Driese is probably one of the key reasons we were able to win that ballgame,” Faria said. “Three fantastic innings, if he doesn’t do that, who knows what would happen. He’s a key reason we won.” Hammel gave up five runs and 10 hits in six innings, raising his ERA to 6.28. He is 0-8 with a 7.28 ERA in 13 starts since winning at Detroit on Sept. 6, 2017. “Beyond frustration right now. It’s just unacceptable, three spots every first inning,” Hammel said. “We put their heads under water every single day, and it’s tough to battle back every single game out. I’m obviously not very proud of the effort. I’ve just got to get better.” Kansas City has allowed runs in the first inning of six of the past seven games. “It seems like the first inning hasn’t been very good for us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “You take away some of those first innings and our pitching has been pretty darn good.”
