“#Yankees blow four leads in wild 11-inning win over Royals<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 The Yankees saved the best for last.<\/p>\n

Finally.<\/p>\n

After blowing leads in four straight innings \u2014 including twice when it would have sealed a victory \u2014 the Yankees got the last three outs from Wandy Peralta in a crazy, 8-6, 11-inning win over the Royals on Monday night at Kauffman Stadium.<\/p>\n

With extra runner Joey Gallo on second to start the 11th, DJ LeMahieu belted a double to the gap in right-center to give the Yankees the lead for good.<\/p>\n

After Tyler Wade and Kyle Higashioka walked with two out, Brett Gardner hit a hard grounder right at shortstop Nickey Lopez, but the ball took a nasty hop and app<\/a>eared to hit Lopez in the face. It was ruled a hit. LeMahieu scored and Wade, who kept running, scored on the errant throw to the plate.<\/p>\n

The extra runs were welcome for the Yankees, who became the first team in the modern era to give up leads in the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th innings of the same game<\/a>, according to StatsbyStats.<\/p>\n

They seemed on the verge of doing it again in the 11th, as Peralta got the first two outs before an RBI single from Edward Olivares and a single through the shift by Hunter Dozier.<\/p>\n

But Peralta got Carlos Santana on a chopper to third, ending the Yankees\u2019 marathon win at 4 hours and 52 minutes.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, after six scoreless inning, the Yankees took the lead \u2014 and gave it right back each time.<\/p>\n
