Royals Slip Past New York, 2-1
New York wasted a solid 6.1-inning effort from starting pitcher German Marquez, losing to Kansas City, 2-1, at Citi Field. Kansas City pitcher Alec Marsh got the win. He's now 1-1. Brooks Raley was tagged with the loss. The win takes Kansas City to 6-8.

Kansas City used a clutch hit from Nelson Velazquez to get the win. The pinch hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"The old adage is true," said Velazquez. "Good pitching stops good hitting."
