New York Yankees starter Dave Linkous turned in a workmanlike performance against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Jon Barton closed the door for New York, picking up his 31st save of the year. New York's record now stands at 56-88, placing them last in the American League East Division.

In the top of the fourth, New York left fielder Ricky Delgado had a productive at-bat. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and two out, Delgado stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 4-1, New York. For the game, he was 3 for 5 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI.

"Dave -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Yankees manager Mike Hanson. "He was the key to us winning."
