The error proved costly. The Yankees held on for a 1-0 victory and swept the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals have now lost eight consecutive games to New York since their ALDS matchup last October.

Pablo Reyes scored the only run of the game after he stumbled heading for home, got up and slid safely into home on a poor throw to the plate.

With Aaron Judge getting at least the start of the night off, the Yankees struggled to do much without him before scrapping a run across.
