Game 48 - 5/28/2006

Royals 5, Yankees 6

The Yankees jumped on Runelvys Hernandez early, and he didn't get through the first inning. Hernandez gave up 5 runs on 6 hits in just 2/3 of an inning. Rookie Bobby Keppel relieved Hernandez and had his second strong outing. In his two outings, Keppel has pitched 6 2/3 innings, given up 6 hits and just 2 runs. His ERA stands at an impressive 2.70. He's struck out 6 and walked only 2.

The Yankees went to sleep after the first inning, and the Royals kept pecking away at the lead. They couldn't get over the hump when the Mariano Rivera came in and slammed the door shut.

The Royals now have to fly cross-country and will take on the Oakland A's Monday night.
