The New York Yankees and host Kansas City Royals meet in the Thursday finale of a 3-game set at Kauffman Stadium.

KANSAS CITY — The Yankees will have a fresh bullpen arm for Thursday night when they go for a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals. Lefty reliever Brent Headrick, who was roughed up in two recent outings, was optioned to Triple-A after pitching 1.1 scoreless innings in Wednesday night’s 6-3 win at Kauffman Stadium.

Pablo Reyes scored the only run of the game after he stumbled heading for home, got up and slid safely into home on a poor throw to the plate.

Pablo Reyes stumbled, stopped and still scrambled home safely on a wild play in the eighth inning, taking advantage of a throwing error by reliever Lucas Erceg to give the New York Yankees a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
