Lopez struck out six and gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk over seven innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Sunday.
Lopez was able to get through seven innings and was in line for the loss, but the Royals scored six runs in the eighth inning to get him off the hook. The 26-year-old continues to have problems with the long ball as he allowed a three-run homer to Clint Frazier in this contest. Lopez has given up seven home runs and has a 4.50 ERA over five starts this season and is expected to start against the Angels next Saturday.
