Frankie Montas earned the win out of the bullpen in his season debut as the Yankees beat the Royals 5-2 on Saturday night.
Montas retired four batters while allowing two hits and a walk. He left with one out and runners on second and third in the sixth inning, but Greg Weissert promptly struck out Nick Pratto and Maikel Garcia to end the threat.Alec Marsh replaced opener Steven Cruz and allowed three runs on six hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings for Kansas City, which fell to 55-106 and matched the 2005 team for the most losses in a season in club history.
The Royals, who got their first 10 batters on base and score nine runs in a 12-5 rout the previous night, got off to another hot start on a steamy final night of September. Garcia opened the game with a single and later scored on Nelson Velázquez’s single, and Salvador Perez added a homer in the third to give Kansas City a 3-0 lead.
The Yankees got two runs back against Marsh in the fourth before tying the game in the sixth on Florial’s single. Collin Snider proceeded to walk DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge before Torres ripped a two-run single to give New York a 5-2 lead.The Yankees’ Carlos Rodón and pitching coach Matt Blake spent time talking Saturday after clashing on the mound the previous night.
“He’s been in the league for a while. We want him to go out and have a lot of success and behave in the right ways,” Blake said Saturday, “and you know, this is one were going to look back on and wish we had back.”Bobby Witt Jr. was thrown out trying to steal second, tying Atlanta’s Ronald Acuna Jr. for the major league lead with 14. Witt needs one steal for 50 to go along with 30 homers.
