Judge announced his presence with two homers at Kauffman Stadium. He blasted a 469 foot home run that landed atop the scoreboard in left field. And the Yankees outscored the Royals 17-5 in the series. New York has won eight consecutive matchups against the Royals after Thursday’s 1-0 victory.

Pablo Reyes scored the only run of the game after he stumbled heading for home, got up and slid safely into home on a poor throw to the plate.

There is a lot to complain about if you're waking up as a Kansas City Royals fan on Friday. A series sweep against the New York Yankees was also a season sweep. With a 1-0 loss on Thursday night, the Royals fell to 0-6 against the Bronx Bombers this season,

The error proved costly. The Yankees held on for a 1-0 victory and swept the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals have now lost eight consecutive games to New York since their ALDS matchup last October.

The Royals did manage to score before the game ended, as Salvador Perez launched a two-run homer off Mark Leiter Jr. in the ninth after a routine popup fell in the Yankees’ infield. Leiter then gave away another run with a throwing error.
