Can Yankees' Pitching Outshine Royals at Yankee Stadium?

Yankees' Recent Performance


The New York Yankees have had a mixed performance in their recent games. Over the last three matchups, they've secured one win and suffered two losses. In their most recent game against the San Francisco Giants, they lost 5-4 despite a strong pitching effort from the bullpen, which maintained an impressive zero earned run average. However, earlier in the series, they managed to clinch an 8-4 victory with solid hitting and pitching performances.

The Yankees' offense has shown potential with a batting average of .333 in one of their wins but struggled with consistency as seen in another game where they only managed a .118 average. Their pitching staff has been inconsistent as well; while they recorded an ERA of 2.0 during one win, it spiked to 14.294 during another loss.
