With their 5-2 defeat on Sunday, the Bombers finished the season 82-80.
-- Zack Greinke tried to give Royals manager Matt Quatraro the ball when they met on the mound Sunday, just as the six-time All-Star had done so many times over the years, when he was departing for a reliever amid one of his 541 starts.The famously reserved Greinke stuck it in his back pocket as he walked off the field, quite possibly for the final time in his big league career.
The 39-year-old Greinke can become free agent after this season, and while he declined to say whether he plans to retire, the 2009 Cy Young Award winner has had a challenging year. His only other win came May 3 against Baltimore. The Royals went 56-106, matching the franchise record for losses in a season. The Yankees finished 82-80, clinching a winning record for the 31st straight season with their win Saturday but still their worst since 76-86 in 1992.
"We know we have to be playing this time of year," Boone added."And that reality and disappointment certainly is upon us."
