The longest winning streak in Royals' history, six games, came to an end with a 5-2 loss to the Yankees. The Royals' runs counted on back-to-back homers by Amos Otis and Ed Kirkpatrick in the sixth inning. By that time, the Yankees already had clinched the decision with a five-run outburst in the third in their biggest single scoring stanza this season.
