NEW YORK (AP) — Seth Lugo struck out 10 in seven innings and Salvador Perez hit two run-scoring singles to reach 100 RBIs for the second time as the Kansas City Royals beat the New York Yankees 5-0. Tommy Pham homered and Bobby Witt Jr. had an RBI single for the Royals in a potential American League playoff preview. Lugo carved up a full-strength Yankees lineup that entered leading the majors in homers and ranked second in runs. The right-hander allowed only three singles and walked none, retiring 17 straight batters after Gleyber Torres’ bloop hit to begin the bottom of the first. With his 16th win, Lugo tied Atlanta’s Chris Sale and Detroit’s Tarik Skubal for the major league lead.
