Yankees Win in Dramatic Fashion
The New York Yankees pulled off a thrilling come-from-behind victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, thanks to a walk-off infield hit by shortstop Jazz Chisholm in the 11th inning. The win capped off a wild and entertaining game that saw the Yankees rally from a two-run deficit late in the game.
Chisholm's Heroics
Chisholm's heroics came with the Yankees trailing by a run in the bottom of the 11th inning. With runners on first and second base, Chisholm hit a ground ball to the right side of the infield. Royals first baseman Nick Pratto fielded the ball but threw wide of second base, allowing Chisholm to reach safely and score the winning run.
Resilient Yankees
The Yankees' victory was a testament to their resilience and determination. The team fell behind early in the game but never gave up, eventually clawing their way back to tie the game in the eighth inning. In the 11th inning, they showed their patience at the plate, drawing two walks to set up Chisholm's game-winning hit.
Royals' Tough Loss
The loss was a tough one for the Royals, who played well for most of the game. They held a 3-1 lead going into the eighth inning but could not hold on. The Royals now sit at 15-25 on the season, while the Yankees improve to 23-17.
Looking Ahead
The Yankees will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. The Royals will travel to Oakland to face the Athletics on Monday.
