Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The Kansas City Royals take the field against the New York Yankees in Week 8 of the regular season on Monday, May 25 at 1:05 p.m. EST at the beloved Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Memorial Day ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

While Kansas City snags a top spot in Joel Reuter's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings) for Bleacher Report, New York lags a bit behind:

Royals (1): "The Kansas City Royals have been hanging around the top five for much of the season, but a big series win against the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend is finally enough them to climb into the No. 1 spot in these rankings. Their plus-65 run differential is the best in baseball by 10 runs over the aforementioned Cardinals, and it's thanks in large part to a dramatically improved offensive attack. They currently rank first in the league in team batting average (.287) and second in runs per game (4.91), with those numbers up from .263 and 4.02 a year ago. The Royals hit the road to take on a struggling New York Yankees team this coming week, followed by a weekend series with the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. They currently hold a three-game lead over the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins."

Kansas City snags an impressive 28-15 winning record.

Yankees (22): "Is this just a rough patch, or has luck finally run out on a New York Yankees team that climbed as high as the No. 4 spot in these rankings a few weeks back? The team is now 1-10 in its last 11 games, and its 4.86 ERA in May is the worst in the American League. Even Michael Pineda, who had been the team's best starter with Masahiro Tanaka and Chase Whitley both sidelined, has allowed 18 hits and nine earned runs in 11.1 innings over his last two starts. Tanaka threw a bullpen session Sunday, and he will make another minor league rehab start Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, he's on pace to return June 2, according to Greg Logan of Newsday. Also of note, 2014 second-round pick Jacob Lindgren had his contract purchased Sunday. The lefty reliever has a 1.74 ERA and 14.8 strikeout-per-nine rate in 34 career minor league appearances."

With that somewhat meager ranking, New York currently holds 22 wins and 22 losses.

The ball game will be broadcasted live on local channels ESPN, YES, and FSKC.
