The Kansas City Royals lost in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday night, losing 6-5 to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The Royals advanced to the ALDS by beating the Baltimore Orioles in the American League wild card round.

KC lost a 6-5 slugfest at Yankee Stadium. Alex Verdugo hit a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning as New York took a 1-0 series lead. That followed a controversial call at second base in which the Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm, who scored the winning run, was called safe sliding into second and the play stood on a review.
