Another afternoon tilt in New York for the Royals today as they try to salvage one win on what has been a truly demoralizing road trip. Two new faces have joined the team for today’s game. Elias Diaz will be catching; the veteran has been in the big leagues since 2015 but has never played for Kansas City. Joining him will be Mason Black in the bullpen as the team continues to cycle arms through there to see if anyone can stick.

Cole Ragans gets to try and play stopper and will hopefully end the losing streak at six. After the scary exit in the first inning at Cleveland, his start on Tuesday went well, but was uncharacteristic with very few strike outs and several walks. This is a situation for the ace of the staff to show why he gets that moniker.

Opposite Ragans will be Ryan Weathers who is 0-2 with a 4.29 ERA through his first four starts. He has allowed a decent number of base runners so far this season, so the Royals will attempt to take advantage of lefty. Here are the lineups for today:
