Yanks remain hot, pound Royals

Baseball Betting Lines

07/24/2007 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada each knocked in a pair of runs and Roger Clemens pitched seven solid innings, as the streaking New York Yankees slammed the Kansas City Royals, 9-2, in the opener of a four-game series at Kauffman Stadium.

After scoring 45 runs in three straight wins over Tampa Bay over the weekend, the Yankees pounded out 11 singles to win their fourth straight and improve to 15-5 over their last 20 games. The only extra base hits for New York were Damon's double and Posada's first triple of the year.

The run support was more than enough to help Clemens (3-4) earn career win No. 351. The future Hall of Famer gave up just two runs on four hits with three strikeouts and no walks.

Clemens also continued his dominance of Kansas City, improving to 25-7 in 40 career starts against the Royals.

Alex Rodriguez knocked in his 100th run of the season with an RBI single in the ninth inning. The Yankee slugger also remains two home runs shy of 500 for his career.

Royals starter Odalis Perez (5-9) pitched admirably after a rough start. The left-hander gave up four runs on five hits through the first two innings but didn't give another run over the rest of his seven innings of work.

Ross Gload homered for Kansas City, which had won four of its last five games.

New York struck for a pair of runs in both the first and second innings to assume command early.

Melky Cabrera walked with one out in the first and Derek Jeter followed with a single to left. After Rodriguez's groundout moved the runners over a base, Matsui's single to right made it 2-0 Yankees.

Robinson Cano and Shelley Duncan then both singled in the second inning and Damon's double into the left field corner handed New York a four-run advantage.

Kansas City got a run back in the fourth as Mark Grudzielanek led off with a double, went to third on a groundout and scored on a Clemens wild pitch.

Gload's one-out homer in the seventh inning brought the Royals within 4-2, but the Yankees blew the game open with a five-run ninth inning.

Damon and Cabrera led off the inning with back-to-back singles and out later, Rodriguez brought home a run with a single up the middle. Jimmy Gobble then took over for Ryan Braun and promptly walked Matsui to load the bases.

Posada's single to left scored two runs, with the runners moving to second and third on the throw home. Cano followed with a sacrifice fly to score Matsui and Grudzielanek dropped Andy Phillips' routine pop out, allowing Posada to score for a seven-run Yankee advantage.

Game Notes

Clemens was facing Kansas City for the first time since the 2005 season...Perez was attempting to win back-to-back starts for the first time this season...Damon finished 3-for-5...Attendance was 30,476.
