Yankees Lose to Royals in Walk-Off
Kansas City pitcher Ken Walker did his part in helping his team beat the New York Yankees, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. By defeating New York, the 4th-place Royals improved to 23-31.

Kansas City got a knockout punch from Cliff Jones. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This place was rockin'," said Jones.
