Yankees Hammered by Hardy, Drop Game 3 to Royals
Riding the 3-hit performance of third baseman J.J. Hardy, the Kansas City Royals stopped the visiting New York Yankees, 11-6, in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series today. Hardy went 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 8 for the Royals, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 1.

The Royals took a 10-5 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning. Facing New York hurler Justin Duchscherer with one out, Hardy hit a grand slam home run.

"We maximized our offense today," said Kansas City skipper Royals GM. "That makes everyone's life easier."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
