Suffers Fourth Blown Save in Ninth-Inning Collapse Against Yankees

Lucas Erceg struggled in the ninth inning on Monday, blowing his fourth save of the season as the Kansas City Royals lost 4-3 to the New York Yankees. Erceg surrendered two runs in the final frame, including a decisive two-run single to Anthony Volpe. The performance turned a late Royals lead into a disappointing defeat, highlighting recent consistency issues for the reliever in high-leverage situations. Erceg will look to regain his form as the Royals continue their road trip this week.
