Kansas City at New York

Greg Bird homered in the eighth to help New York salvage the second game of Saturday's doubleheader by a 5-4 score after the Yankees lost the first game. The Yankees have won seven of the last 10 meetings, and they have newly-acquired J.A. Happ on the mound today. Happ was 10-6 with Toronto, and he gave up one run on four hits in five innings in a 5-4 win over Baltimore his last outing on July 22. Kansas City is 17-45 its last 62 meetings at Yankee Stadium and 38-82 its last 120 meetings overall. New York has won 55 of its last 73 home games and 36 of its last 51 home games versus right-handed starters. Burch Smith gets the start for the Royals, and he has allowed 31 runs on 49 hits in 50 innings this season. This will be his fourth start in 27 games overall, and it will be a daunting task against the Bronx Bombers. Play the Yankees.
