KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Interstat) — The New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals meet Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium, where the first-place Yankees look to extend their dominance over a last-place Royals club. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. CDT under cloudy skies with a temperature of 78 degrees. New York (32-22) holds a 10-game lead in the AL East and has won four consecutive games against Kansas City, including a 4-3 victory Monday. Right-hander Cam Schlittler (6-2) will start for the Yankees. He has been sharp this season, and the Yankees’ rotation has been bolstered by right-hander Will Warren. Warren earned the win Monday with six innings of two-run ball, striking out three. Over his past five starts, Warren has gone 4-1 with a 3.29 ERA, striking out 28 in 27 innings. The Royals (22-32) sit last in the AL Central, 11 ½ games out of first place. Right-hander Michael Wacha takes the mound for Kansas City. Wacha took the hard-luck loss Monday, allowing two runs over seven innings while striking out five. In his last three outings, he has a 2.37 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 19 innings but has received only two runs of support combined. Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., who homered in Monday’s loss, will be a key bat for a lineup that has struggled to score consistently. The Royals are 1-4 in their last five games. The Yankees, who won two of three against Tampa Bay before arriving in Kansas City, have won 10 of their last 14. The loss Monday dropped the Royals to 2-5 on their current homestand. A simulation from Interstat projects a 4-3 Yankees victory. The teams conclude the two-game series Wednesday before New York travels to Oakland for a weekend set. Kansas City heads to Texas for a three-game series starting Friday.
