KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There was a time in CC Sabathia’s sterling career when he would routinely pitch around a miscue or two behind him. The lefty simply added a few miles per hour to a fastball that overpowered hitters and picked up teammates. As anybody who has been paying attention understands, those days have vanished. Sabathia has thrived as a finesse hurler, but the ability to use muscle to erase errors is no longer what has made him very successful in a second act. That was evident Friday night at Kaufman Stadium, where two misplays by second baseman Gleyber Torres cost the Yankees and Sabathia dearly in a 5-2 loss to the struggling Royals that was witnessed by 26,433 and ended a five-game losing streak for the hosts. Playing for the first time since Wednesday’s game against the Nationals in Washington was halted after 5 ½ innings due to rain and a day after experiencing a 15-hour plane delay, Torres easily had the worst game of his 22-game big league career. His misplay of Salvador Perez’s blooper into center field, which was ruled a base hit in the first, cost Sabathia a run and Torres botching Jon Jay’s routine ground ball in the third led to a pair of unearned runs. Working with seven days of rest due to days off and rainouts, Sabathia was lifted after five innings and a season-high 99 pitches with the Yankees trailing, 4-0. The abbreviated stay followed a four-inning stint against the Red Sox in his previous outing on May 10. He gave up four runs (two earned), four hits, walked four and fanned five. Perez upped the Royals’ advantage to 5-2 in the seventh with a double to right that eluded a diving Aaron Judge and scored Mike Moustakas from first after he had drawn a two-out walk from David Robertson. Giancarlo Stanton opened the sixth with an infield single and Aaron Hicks dumped a single into short center field to put runners at first and second with one out. With switch-hitter Neil Walker due up, Royals manager Ned Yost called for lefty Tim Hill to replace right-handed starter Jakob Junis. Walker greeted Hill by hitting his first pitch up the middle for an RBI single that gave the Yankees their first run and sent Hicks to third. Miguel Andujar’s fly to right plated Hicks and cut the Royals’ lead to 4-2. Torres walked in front of Hill fielding Brett Gardner’s chopper up the middle. Perez’s towering one-out homer to left with one out in the fifth on Sabathia’s first pitch, an 82-mph change-up, increased the Royals’ lead to 4-0. Didi Gregorius extended two slumps when second baseman Whit Merrifield made a running stab of a ground ball headed to right field that ended a Yankees’ scoring threat in the fifth. Torres walked with one out and moved to second on Gardner’s line drive single to right. Judge flied to right and Gregorius stranded two. The ground out moved Gregorius’ slump to 1-for-41 and advanced a slide with runners in scoring position to a dozen at-bats. Sabathia required 85 pitches to record a dozen outs and watched Judge save
