The Yankees have dropped 10 of 11 games a terrible streak they haven't suffered through since 1995. The Yanks have lost six straight and now host the team that started this losing streak with a 6 - 0 loss on May 17th, the Kansas City Royals. The Yankees are now a .500 ball club and the Royals have the best record in baseball.

If the Yankees are going to avoid their first seven game losing streak since 2007 they will need all hands on deck today. Nathan Eovaldi needs to locate his pitches, the offense needs to play small ball and make the Royals throw a lot of pitches AND the defense needs to be better.
