9/12/24 Seth Lugo dominates the Yankees for his 16th victory as the Royals win 5-0. NEW YORK -- - Seth Lugo struck out 10 in seven masterful innings and Salvador Perez hit two run-scoring singles to reach 100 RBI for the second time as the Kansas City Royals beat the New York Yankees 5-0 on Tuesday night. Pitching in New York City for the first time since spending his first seven seasons across town with the Mets from 2016-22, Lugo absolutely dominated. "I'm looking forward to going back and watching that, to be honest, because he must have been on the corners all night," Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro said.

9/11/24 Yankees look to bounce back from shutout loss to Royals. The Kansas City Royals already made a big improvement from last season and will get another measure of their progress with their next few wins. After receiving a brilliant performance from Seth Lugo, the Royals have their first chance to clinch at least a .500 season Wednesday night when they visit the New York Yankees. The Royals (80-66) are two wins away from clinching their first winning season since going 95-67 and capturing their second World Series title in 2015. Since then, the Royals have not won more than 81 games and have lost more than 100 three times, including last season, when they went 56-106 in manager Matt Quatraro's debut season.

Now imagine you are recruiting for a team that has posted seven straight losing seasons, including the most recent one that included a franchise-tying 106 losses. That was the task facing Kansas City Royals GM J.J. Piccollo when he set out for a second straight winter to sign righthander Seth Lugo. After losing out to the San Diego Padres last season, Piccollo got his man this time. How in the world does a 106-loss team win the bidding for a veteran starter? Lugo, Piccollo says, was aware how well Kansas City played after Sept. 1 last year in what already was a lost season (15–12). That was
