Yesterday’s first game in Kansas City was… not good.
Tanner Bibee had a horrible inning. Matt Festa gave up a bomb. Travis Bazzana and Brayan Rocchio had bad errors. And José Ramírez is still mired in an early season funk. If the top of your lineup goes 2-24 and those two hits are singles, you’re probably gonna lose.
The Guardians will now face lefties Noah Cameron and Cole Ragans, both of whom have been struggling, to see if they can cool off the Royals who have won 8 of 10.
Tarik Skubal of the Tigers
has loose bodies in his elbow and so looks likely for an August return from surgery at best. The Royals and Guardians will look to get some momentum going in that intervening time. But, every baseball fan knows that “there but for the grace of the baseball gods go we” when it comes to pitching injuries.
Gavin Williams will try to do the ace thing and snap the Guardians two-game losing streak tonight
AROUND MLB:
The White Sox beat the Angels and the Tigers lost to the Red Sox.
