The Yankees, who took the opening game over the weekend, failed to capitalize on the early series lead, coming up short Monday with a series of missed opportunities.
The New York Yankees will look to rebound from Monday night's 4-2 loss when they take on the Kansas City Royals on the road for Game 3 Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, the Royals' own superstar shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., has also been ice cold so far this series. The 24-year-old AL batting champion is 0 for 10 against New York with four strikeouts of his own, leaving the bottom of the Royals lineup to pick up the slack. Clarke Schmidt, who returned from a lat strain last month, will make his first career playoff start for New York on Wednesday after going 5-5 with a 2.85 ERA in 16 starts this season. The Royals will counter with Seth Lugo, who allowed four runs over 14 innings across two starts against the Yankees during the regular season.
