Yankees Stumble in Game 2, ALDS Heads to Kansas City Tied 1-1

The New York Yankees had a bad night at Yankee Stadium on Monday. Their pitcher, Carlos Rodon, struggled in the fourth inning, giving up four runs. Meanwhile, the team's hitters didn't do much better, wasting several chances to score. The result? A 4-2 loss to the Royals, tying the series at 1-1. Things got exciting in the ninth inning when Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a home run, but it wasn't enough. The Yankees now head to Kansas City for Game 3. The Yankees faced some tough pitching from the Royals. Their starter, Cole Ragans, kept them from scoring early. Even with some base runners, the Yankees couldn't hit when it mattered. Their likely MVP, Aaron Judge, had a quiet night too. It's clear they need to improve if they want to win the series. The Royals are up next with their ace, Seth Lugo, who has given the Yankees trouble before. It's going to be a challenge. The Yankees' pitcher, Carlos Rodon, started strong. He struck out the entire Royals lineup in the first inning. But then he fell apart in the fourth, and the Royals took advantage. Every hit off Rodon in that inning was a slider. He just couldn't get the right grip on the ball. It's a reminder that baseball can be unpredictable. A great start doesn't guarantee a win. The Yankees have had a history of bouncing back from losses. They hope to do the same this time. The team believes they are still the best and can turn things around quickly. Comeback stories are always exciting in sports. It's what keeps fans on the edge of their seats.
