KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 The Yankees were rewarded with a victory on Monday night when they outlasted the Royals, using five relievers in the process.<\/p>\n

Aaron Boone said before the game<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019d like to win some easier going forward from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n

But as much as Boone hoped Monday\u2019s wild 11-inning win would prove to be a spark, reality set in Tuesday, when the Yankees had to let Nestor Cortes pitch into the sixth inning for the first time and then go to the inexperienced Stephen Ridings as the game unravelled. It ended in an 8-4 loss to the Royals in which the Yankees committed a season-high four errors.<\/p>\n

The streaking Rays beat the Red Sox for their fifth consecutive victory, so the Yankees fell to seven games back of first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East.<\/p>\n

After an RBI single by DJ LeMahieu gave the Yankees a 4-3 lead in the top of the sixth, Salvador Perez took Cortes deep to open the bottom of the inning.<\/p>\n

Cortes was replaced by Ridings after Emmanuel Rivera\u2019s two-out single in the seventh. Ridings, pitching in his fourth game in the majors, gave up a double to left-center to Dozier, which scored Rivera from first, putting the Royals ahead, 5-4.<\/p>\n

The night got worse for Ridings in the seventh. He gave up another booming double to left-center, this one to Michael A. Taylor. Hanser Alberto then bunted back to Ridings, who bounced the throw to first, which got away from LeMahieu. Taylor scored and Alberto moved to second.<\/p>\n

Joely Rodriguez replaced Ridings and Lopez dropped down a safety squeeze, which scored Alberto.<\/p>\n

Luke Voit committed the Yankees\u2019 fourth error on an Andrew Benintendi grounder to lead off the bottom of the eighth against Nick Nelson.<\/p>\n
