Yankees Royals series preview
By Max Grzymala
The Yankees come into this series riding a 5 game winning streak. They will face a struggling Royals team and get a chance to stretch their division lead!
Game 1 Saturday May 25th
first game of doubleheader
Pitcher Preview
It will be a match up between two south paws. J.A. Happ will go for New York while Danny Duffy will go for Kansas City. This has the potential to be a pitchers duel as Happ has started to look better after an early season swoon. Duffy has looked good all season and will be a tough match up for the Yanks.
Keys to the game
Be Patient: Duffy has had some trouble with his commands this season. So the Yanks should make a point on taking pitches and trying to get into good hitters counts.
Keep the ball down: Happ has had a huge problem with the long ball this season, He has allowed 13 home runs already this season. If he can locate better and keep the ball in the park he'll be set up for more success.
Location: Kauffman Stadium
First Pitch: 2:15 PM ET
