For the second straight game, the Yankees went to a starter on three days' rest, and while
Chris Carpenter pitched well in Game 4, Danks wasn't up to the challenge this time. Down
by one in the bottom of the first, Jorge Cantu crushed a three-run homer, giving the Royals
a lead they'd never surrender. Beckett was masterful; he went 8 1/3 innings and allowed just
two runs on one hit and four walks, striking out 11. In fact, he held a 9-1 lead on one
Yankee hit entering the ninth. Danks, meanwhile, was pummeled for all nine runs on 10 hits
in 4 1/3 frames as the series returned to New York with the Royals up, 3-2.
