NEW YORK — Cole Ragans started his AL Division Series with a walk in the park. On Sunday, the Kansas City Royals left-hander took a 11-minute stroll from the team's hotel in midtown Manhattan and played catch in Central Park on the Heckscher Ballfields, just as so many amateur baseball and softball players do each day. On Monday, he was an 8-mile drive away on the mound at Yankee Stadium and allowed one run over four innings in Kansas City's 4-2 win over the New York Yankees that evened their AL Division Series at one game apiece.
