Royals pitchers tank against the Yanks

August 14, 2010 By Bill Pollock

It took Alex Rodriguez awhile to get off career home run 599, but maybe all he needed was to face the Royals’ pitching staff. A-Rod hit three homers off three different Royals’ pitchers as the Yankees hit five homers in an 8-3 win Saturday at Kauffman Stadium.

Royals’ starter Sean O’Sullivan fell to 1-4 as he gave up three homers in 5.1 innings. He threw zereos in the first four innings, but ran into trouble in the sixth after giving up a run in the fifth.

In the span of four batters, O’Sullivan gave up three solo homers. First to A-Rod, then he retired Robinson Cano. Then Jorge Posada and Curtis Granderson went deep. Granderson’s blast was 416 feet, while Posada smashed it 441 feet to center.

A-Rod homered in the seventh and then in the ninth blasted his third of the game 449 feet to center.
