Extra-Inning Walk-Off Win for Yankees
The New York Yankees downed the Kansas City Royals, 11-10, in 11 innings at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees were led by Eloy Jimenez. Jimenez went 2 for 6 with a home run and a double. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Will Brian earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record is now 9-9. New York is now 57-80, Kansas City 71-66.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With two out, Jimenez hit a curveball from Jamir Leal for a run-scoring double. The Yankees, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Dave Roberts, the New York skipper. "This one tested us."
