On Wednesday Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a game-ending infield single with one out in the 11th inning as the New York Yankees outlasted the Kansas City Royals for a 4-3 victory.
Juan Soto launched a go-ahead homer in the sixth for the Yankees, who increased their advantage in the AL East to 1.5 games over Baltimore. New York has held the lead since Aug. 21 but hasn't led by more than two games during that stretch.
The Royals, who still hold a game and a half lead over the Minnesota Twins for the second wild cars spot, and who trail the Guardians by just a game and a half in the AL Central, will be back in action tomorroow to open a three-game set with the Pirates in Pittsburgh

More locally it was a good day on the pitch for the Kansas Wesleyan men’s and women’s soccer teams who collected a total of four points on Wednesday evening.
On the men’s side Kansas Wesleyan used offensive pressure and defensive prowess to battle to a 2-1 win over the Hastings College Broncos in the home opener.
Meanwhile the Women's Soccer team duked it out with Mid-America Christian University. The two teams faced off at MACU's Soccer Field in what would end in a tied match at 1-1.
Both teams will be back in action to start conference play next Wednesday
