Royals Tie ALDS with Yankees in Game 2

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, also a part-owner of the Kansas City Royals, attended Game 2 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium during his team's bye week. Mahomes, known for his enthusiasm and connection to baseball through his father, was seen in a playful altercation with former teammate Gehrig Dieter, a Yankees fan, after the Royals tied the game. Despite potential scheduling conflicts with his wife Brittany, Mahomes prioritized attending the game, highlighting his commitment to the Royals. The Royals, having tied the series 1-1 with the Yankees, were energized by the support of a sold-out stadium that Mahomes described as thrilling. Royals' manager Matt Quatraro and Mahomes have developed a rapport, with Mahomes showing interest in the team's bullpen performance, reflecting his deeper engagement with the sport. This game marked the Royals' first postseason appearance at home in nine years, and they aim to leverage this momentum in the series.
