The Yankees opened the scoring in the top of the 5th, when Chris Young led off the inning with a single to left and Austin Romine drove him heon an RBI double to right center. Brendan Ryan then singled to put men on the corners. Brett Gardner gave the Yankees their 4th consecutive hit on a single down the left field line that scored Romine.

Jose Ramirez relieved Michael Pineda in the top of the 7th, but found himself in trouble quickly. After Perez singled to open the inning, he retired Rios on a fly out to center. Kendry Morales then drove in what would prove to be the only Royal run when he doubled to right. Jim Miller cam in to relieve Ramirez and gave up an infield single to put runners on the corners. Moustakas tried a suicide squeeze, but after the missed bunt attempt, Morales was stuck in no man's land and easily retired. Moustakas eventually grounded out to Drew to end the threat.

The Yankees would take a 4-1 lead on a 2-run, 2 out HR by Chris Young.

Dellin Betances picked up his league leading 15th save on the day, allowing just a two out single.

With the win, the Yankees improve to a league best 28-10.
