KC wins 12 to 9.

Before the game, "Royals trainer Nick Swartz was accidentally hit on the side of the head during batting practice with a ball thrown by manager Tony Pena. Swartz was talking to general manager Allard Baird and Pena was playing catch when the ball got away from him and hit the screen above where Swartz was sitting. It bounced down onto his head and left a large red spot."

I say if that's what it takes to beat the evil Yankees, then hit Nick in the head before every game!!
