Kansas City Royals fans didn't have much to cheer about Wednesday. The New York Yankees broke out the lumber again in a 6-3 victory at Kauffman Stadium. And the Royals' bats? Well, they were quiet again

Aaron Judge homered for the third consecutive game, helping the Yankees to a 6-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday night.

Tuesday night's injury also came right after a collision with Ryals third baseman Maikel Garcia, who Chisholm had words with. He reportedly told third base coach Luis Rojas he would slap Garcia, in much more colorful words. The two had a stare down at third before he exited Wednesday night.

The Yankees had no update on injured reliever Jack Cousins, who now is dealing with an UCL injury. The Yankees haven’t announced how serious this issue is, but it could be season ending. Chisholm first felt discomfort in his groin while he was running from first to third in the fifth inning of the Yankees’ 6-3 win on Wednesday.

Seth Lugo is on the mound for the Royals, and Judge’s history against him isn’t exactly glowing. He’s just 1-for-11 in his career against Lugo, with five strikeouts and no extra-base hits. That .091 batting average and .182 OPS are among Judge’s least productive matchups against any active starter.

As the Royals prepared to welcome the Yankees to town this week, they felt like their rotation was in a good spot with who they had lined up to start and how the six-man rotation was shaping up as a whole.
