After an overall annoying series against the Angels, last night’s game was trending towards being annoying too, with the Yankees tied with the Royals in the eighth inning. Enter Ryan McMahon of all people. The embattled third baseball hit his first home run of the season at the best possible time, as his late two-run shot gave the Yankees the cushion they needed to win.

Now, the Yankees can sew up a series win if they can beat Kansas City again this afternoon.To try and get that win, the Yankees will give the ball to Will Warren. For the season, Warren’s numbers are pretty good, although he has had some frustrating moments. We’ll see if he can get past those this afternoon against a struggling KC offense.Despite his big homer, McMahon is not in the lineup today, as Amed Rosario will get the start against a lefty.

Randal Grichuk is also in the lineup in left, with Cody Bellinger playing center in place of Trent Grisham.Said lefty for the Royals will be Noah Cameron. Last year, Cameron finished fourth in AL Rookie of the Year voting and has been a very good pitcher in his young MLB career.Here’s all the information you need to know to catch today’s game, and we hope you’ll come join us in the game thread!How to watchLocation: Yankee Stadium — Bronx, NYFirst pitch: 1:35 pm ETTV broadcast: YES (NYY) | Royals.TV (KCR)Radio broadcast: WFAN 660/101.9 FM, WADO 1280 (NYY) | 96.5 The Fan, Royals Radio Network (KCR)Streaming: MLB.tv, Gotham Sports AppFor updates, follow us on BlueSky, Twitter, and Instagram, and like us on Facebook.Saturday at The Stadium 🏟️#RepBXpic.twitter.com/rRywSMy0Ai— New York Yankees (@Yankees) April 18, 2026Saturday afternoon showdown. pic.twitter.com/67Ht9ipN8i— Kansas City Royals (@Royals) April 18, 2026Join the conversation!Sign up for a user account and get:Fewer adsCreate community postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community postsNew, improved notifications system!
