Ned Yost Royals All-Time Leader in Royals Managerial Wins

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — No manager in Kansas City Royals’ history has won as many games as Ned Yost.

The latest win came Thursday night when Alcides Escobar had three hits and Jeremy Guthrie pitched six effective innings as the Royals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2.kcr five

With the victory, Yost surpassed Whitey Herzog as the winningest manager in franchise history with 411 wins. Earlier in the month Yost moved past Dick Howser, who managed the Royals to their only World Series championship in 1985.

“It’s nice, but again I don’t look at it as an individual achievement,” Yost said “First of all, I don’t feel like I’m in the same class as Whitey Herzog and Dick Howser, one. Two, this is an organizational-wide achievement and I’m proud to be part of that. Everybody is involved.”

Yost said general manager Dayton Moore could have fired him “two or three times, but didn’t.” Yost has a 411-427 record as Royals manager.
