Here comes the… shade.

“Don’t celebrate too early,” Kansas City’s leadoff man, Maikel Garcia, wrote on X Monday night, hours after his Royals defeated the Yankees in Game 2 of the ALDS.

The celebration(s) in question belonged to Carlos Rodón, the Yankees $162 million man and starting pitcher on Monday night.

Rodón came out of the gates excited, to put it mildly. In the top of the first he struck out the side — Garcia, Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino — on 12 pitches. 

With each successive strikeout, the celebration grew a little more emphatic: there was a bit of jumping around on the mound, some “did you see that” shaking of the head, and a whole lot of what looked like screaming — through an uproarious Bronx crowd drowned much of that out.

By game’s end, there was little left to celebrate. 

The Royals chased Rodón from the game in the fourth inning.

After surrendering a leadoff home run to Salvador Pérez in the fourth, the Yankees starter was tagged for two more runs on three singles.

Ian Hamilton came on in relief, facing Garcia with one on and two outs; the Royal jumped on the first pitch he saw, knocking a slider into right field to score Kansas City’s fourth and final run of the evening.

Garcia finished the game 4-for-5, with an RBI and a stolen base. 

Rodón’s stat-line was less flattering: 3 2/3 innings pitched, seven hits, four earned runs. 

The Royals held the Yankees to two runs on seven hits. Angel Zerpa, who came on in relief in the bottom of the 5th, picked up the win.

With the series knotted at one, the teams will face-off in a pivotal game 3 on Wednesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 7:08 p.m.
