The Royals were able to get a huge 4-2 win over the Yankees on Monday night to even their series as it shifts to Kansas City for the next two games.
The Royals did all their damage in the fourth inning, scoring all four runs against Yankees starter Carlos Rodon. They were then able to hold off the Yankees the rest of the way to secure the victory.
One of the biggest plays came in the bottom of the eighth inning when the Royals were able to end it by turning a clutch double play on a ball hit to short by Giancarlo Stanton.
Bob Costas has been working this series for TBS and his call of this big play left a lot to be desired:
I’m not a Royals fan or a Yankees fan.

But what hell is this INSANE bias from Bob Costas? He needs to be replaced.
He is audibly disgusted.

Stanton has battled some injuries but it felt like that call should have been a little more fired up while commending the Royals for making it happen.
Fans were not impressed:

This man Bob Costas is one of the most boring commentators that I’ve ever listened to https://t.co/kqlt5ttUSs

Craziest double play call I've ever heard, after they turn two his inflection sounds just like this line https://t.co/Ag9FL6Calb pic.twitter.com/eqZYo7TV6V

Not a big “bash the announcer” guy, but I thought the same thing over the past two games. I even like Costas, but the Yankee favoritism is bad. https://t.co/qVwxo2cv5o
