It took eleven innings... these extra-inning games are long and not so much fun.
I greatly dislike the imaginary runner. The Whiffle Ball games in my backyard as a kid were more serious than these ghost runners in the big leagues.
The Yankees continue to struggle to win games. They continually struggle to score runs.
And yet, they scored a run in the 11th and won the game.
Full recap from Ethan at 6:00 a.m.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Should be quite a showdown with the Boston Red Sox the next 4 days. Both the Yankees AND the Red Sox won tonight by virtue of a WALKOFF in EXTRA INNINGS. So both teams are coming into these next 4 games with a "high".
Yankees should have won this game in regulation, but for Holmes and his 12th Blown Save.
I would pay money to watch him get reamed out by Boone or Cashman, or anyone on the Yankees for that matter. He's a disgrace and should not be let into the same zipcode as a close game.
Why did Boone put in Clay Holmes in the 7th inning. I knew once he came in he was going to blow the lead. He can't hold a lead whatsoever in high level situations. Especially we just took the lead in the bottom of the 6th inning on a big home run by Soto. We needed that shutdown inning.
Now, Cashman can't get a new arm up here unless he DFAs Mayza for tomorrow. But almost everyone pitched tonight for AAA, so are we really ready for Bickford III?
it wasn't so much that they scored a run in the 11th
it was more that the Yankees pitcher throttled the Royals and kept THEM from scoring in the 11th
