Billy McKinney hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the fourth inning and made a pair of highlight-reel catches in center field as the host New York Yankees recorded a 5-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.
Franchy Cordero homered for the second straight game and Gleyber Torres connected to extend his hitting streak to 11 games as the Yankees stopped a four-game losing streak and won for only the third time in 12 games.
McKinney homered to the short porch in right field to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead after DJ LeMahieu walked with two outs and rookie Anthony Volpe singled. The center fielder hit his fifth homer after making a spectacular catch on a Kyle Isbel drive to end the third. After Schmidt allowed a double to Maikel Garcia in the fourth, he grazed MJ Melendez with a pitch three batters later. He was one strike away from ending the inning, but Massey hit a 2-2 pitch about halfway up the second deck in right to give the Royals a 3-1 lead.
In his fourth career start, Kansas City's Alec Marsh allowed five runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings. Marsh struck out three and walked two in his second-longest outing.
