The series opened with a bold prediction by Royals owner Michael Debije, who said before
the first pitch that he expected a short series. He'd quickly look right, as his Royals
jumped out to a quick, 3-0 lead on a Jorge Cantu three-run bomb in the first, then never
looked back. Royals hitters pummeled Yankees pitching for 12 runs on 13 hits and three
walks, scoring on five different Yankees pitchers. Adam Lind's eighth-inning grand slam
capped a 12-4 victory for a 1-0 Royals series lead.
