Royals on verge of rare feat in the Bronx
Jun 7, 2008 - 12:06 PM Kansas City (24-37) at New York Yankees (30-31) 1:05 p.m. EDTBRONX, New York (Ticker) - After snapping a five-game losing streak at Yankee Stadium, the Kansas City Royals have a chance to end an even longer drought when they continue a four-game series against the New York Yankees on Saturday.
The Royals snapped an 11-game road losing streak with a narrow 2-1 victory over the Yankees on Friday - just their sixth win in 39 trips to New York since the 1998 season.
Kansas City hasn't won back-to-back games at Yankee Stadium in nine years, last accomplishing the feat in August 1999.
Brain Bannister (5-6, 4.60 ERA) needs to overcome his struggles on the road if he plans on leading the Royals to consecutive wins for just the third time since May 16 - a span of 20 games.
The 27-year-old righthander is 1-4 with a 8.44 ERA in five road starts this season and has surrendered a .325 batting average away from home.
Andy Pettitte (5-5, 4.21) counters for the Yankees and is 7-0 with a 2.77 ERA in his previous nine outings against Kansas City.
