The Kansas City Royals took the first two of four in the Bronx only to come back tom Planet Bronx Zoo to lose the next two including the "Get Away" Game as they had Yanks LHP Pettitte on the ropes early. The Royals jumped out with three in the 1st and one in the 2nd only to score no more as the Yankees storm back in the 5th scoring a crooked four to break open the tie at 3-3. Yanks SS Derek Jeter went 1 for 4 with a run scored and he knocked in a run. Pettitte moves to 7-6 on the season as the Royals are in a lot better shape then they have been in quite sometime heading into the All-Star Break.
