Davies, Royals hold off Yankees to snap road skid
Quote:
NEW YORK (AP)—Yankee Stadium is the last place anyone would expect Kansas City to stop its road losing streak.
Kyle Davies won his second consecutive start since being called up from the minors and the struggling Royals earned a rare victory in the Bronx, shutting down New York 2-1 Friday night to snap an 11-game skid away from home.
“He was great. Both his starts since he’s come up, he’s been very, very composed,” said Kansas City skipper Trey Hillman, who managed in the Yankees’ minor league system from 1990-2001. “Here and Boston are probably the two most difficult places in the American League to stay composed. As a result of staying composed, he was able to continue to command his pitches.”
David DeJesus hit an RBI single and the Royals got splendid relief work from Ron Mahay and Joakim Soria to win for only the third time in 18 games overall.
