The Yankees went 5-2 against the Royals last season, winning three of four in New York. New York has gone 12-3 (.800) against Kansas City at home since 2015, its second-best home record versus a single opponent in that span (12-1 vs. Minnesota, min. 10 games played).

The Royals beat the White Sox yesterday to avoid a three-game sweep. Kansas City has won four of its last six games after going 2-10 to open the season. That 12-game start was tied for the second worst in franchise history, behind only 1992 when the team started 1-11.

Whit Merrifield is the only player in MLB with at least 50 walks and 50 steals since the beginning of last season. He is one of six players with at least 200 hits and 100 runs since last season, along with J.D. Martinez, Christian Yelich, Freddie Freeman, Javier Baez and Jean Segura.

The Yankees have won three of their last four, bookended by a two-game sweep of the Red Sox at home. New York is averaging 4.09 runs at home compared to 6.83 runs on the road this season after averaging 5.59 runs at home and 4.91 runs on the road in 2018.

Brett Gardner hit a grand slam in yesterday's win over Boston, his fourth home run of the season. Gardner is slugging .512 over his last 11 games (since April 4) after posting a .286 mark over his first six games.

Domingo German has a 5.56 ERA in 16 career starts compared to a 2.94 mark in 15 relief appearances. In two starts this season, he has pitched to a 1.64 ERA, striking out 10 batters and limiting opponents to a .083 batting average.

Yankees hope to get back on track vs. Royals
The New York Yankees stumbled immediately after two rousing victories over the Boston Red Sox, and the .500 mark will have to wait at least a few more days.

Yankees hope to get back on track vs. Royals

NEW YORK (AP)  Two starts into his final season, CC Sabathia has yet to allow an earned run.
Even at 38 years old, he's still playing stopper for the Yankees while closing in on some impressive milestones.
