Ashford Leads Kansas City Past New York
New York had no answer for fan favorite Mark Ashford. The Kansas City Royals starter stymied Yankees hitters, helping the Royals cruise to victory, 7-1. The win puts Kansas City at 5-1.

Ashford was effective for Kansas City, seldom allowing the Yankees to square up a pitch. The left-hander tossed 95 pitches over 7.1 innings. He limited New York to just 1 run on 1 hit.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Ashford. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
