The hard-throwing right-hander gave up six hits and five runs in his last outing against Cleveland on Friday. The Royals have now dropped 10 of Ventura's last 11 May starts. The KC righty wasn't too hot on the road last season, finishing with a 4.30 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 14 road starts. His road numbers are even worse in 2016, saddled with an ERA north of 7.00 and a 1.93 WHIP in three trips to the bump. Yankee hurler Michael Pineda has pitched better in four of his last five starts, allowing just eight earned runs in 23 innings, for a 3.13 ERA.Lastly, the Royals have won just two of their last 13 road games, the Yankees are on a 13-4 run at home against teams playing .400 or worse, road baseball.
