Yankees 10, Royals 3

Both of Giambi’s homers came against Zack Greinke (3-16), who lost for the fifth straight time. His 16 losses are the most for any pitcher in the majors.

“Sometimes, I think I do decent, but it will just find a way to happen,” Greinke said. “Even if I pitch about as I good as I have pitched, they’ll find a way, some way to score runs and win the game when I’m pitching.

“Today I didn’t really give us a chance. They’ve got some great hitters and early on they were hitting my pitches pretty much, but later in the game I was messing up.”

Royals need to go 21-13 to avoid 100 losses.
