“#Yankees’ Zack Britton shuts down Royals for first 2021 save<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A hit batsman to start the inning. An error that prolonged the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both could have led to a disastrous ninth inning for Zack Britton and the Yankees, but neither did.<\/p>\n

Britton shook both of them off and notched his first save of the year, closing out the Yankees\u2019 5-2 win over the Royals to clinch a series<\/a> victory.<\/p>\n

Britton, who has now posted zeroes in four of his past five outings, rebounded after hitting Ryan O\u2019Hearn with a two-strike sinker leading off the frame. After Rougned Odor botched what should\u2019ve been a game-ending double play, Britton got Carlos Santana to bounce into another twin-killing, closing it out unlike Monday when he couldn\u2019t finish off the Royals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he threw the ball really well,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cObviously, he hits the first guy with two strikes, but after that his stuff really ticked up. It looked like his sinker was really good today, and he gets three guys [to hit the ball] on the ground.<\/p>\n
