A pitcher’s duel kept either team from scoring until extras.
Eventually, someone had to blink.
Eventually, someone had to score a run.
In a pitcher’s duel, it took all the way until extra innings for any of that to happen.
Finally, in the 11th inning, with the extra inning runner, the Red Sox managed to score their guy off two groundouts, one of which featured a ridiculous play at shortstop by Bobby Witt Jr to...
Kyle Wright’s first appearance with the Royals will wait a little longer than hoped.

The mythical 40 game threshold that Dayton Moore loved.
Today is game 40 of the season, that threshold that Dayton Moore used to cherish. It was his “we can’t evaluate anyone until 40 games into the season” thing. I don’t know if GMJJ believes in the same thing...Melendez was already demoted. Hunter Renfroe could be next (Canha gets the start in RF tonight).
In tonight’s threshold...

Will the Royals move on from Hunter Renfroe soon? They did when Hunter Dozier was in a similar situation.
The Kansas City Royals offense looked good yesterday against the Chicago White Sox, scoring 10 runs on 17 hits. Almost all of the starters reached base once, and 7 of the 9 hitters had a multi-hit game. The only player who did not manage to get a hit was right fielder Hunter Renfroe, which is an apt illustration for how things have been going for him...

An ascendant player
Maikel Garcia has always looked the part of a potential future star. He broke into the big leagues as a 22-year-old and showed off an impressive array of athletic tools, but putting them together has been a journey. This year, the proverbial...

The Red Sox will try to get back to the playoffs with some new faces in the lineup.
The Red Sox have missed the playoffs in five of the six seasons since they won it all in 2018. They seem to be transitioning again, with veteran Alex Bregman, rookie Kristian Campbell, and pitcher Garrett Crochet now the faces of the franchise. The team has been a very mediocre team around .500 the last three seasons, but they are hoping a new look can...
The Royals enter the weekend with the American League’s fourth-best record (23-16) and in possession of the league’s second Wild Card spot. Their starting rotation, as highlighted by MLBTR’s Anthony Franco yesterday, looks exceptional.

Kansas City Royals Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has been great over his last five games. Over that stretch, he has 10 hits, 8 RBI, 6 XBH, 4 stolen bases, 2 home runs, and a walk-off single on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox.

So many hits
Hitting a baseball is arguably the hardest thing to do in professional sports, which is why a hit itself is perhaps the most iconic part about baseball. There’s just some inherent aesthetic beauty to a line drive that falls into the outfield grass or a ground ball that scoots past a diving infielder.
But...

One, two, three, four, five... SIX WINS IN A ROW!
Anne Rogers penned a touching Mother's Day story about Daniel Lynch, thinking back on his mother now that he’s recently become a parent:
Jolie Saunders Lynch died on Sept. 7, 2012, at 43 years old after a battle with melanoma. Lynch was a few months away from turning 16, the oldest of the three...

They have won six straight
Today, the Royals took on the White Sox in the last game of a four game series and looked to land the sweep and carry their win streak to six games. The Royals have displayed dominant pitching over the last few weeks and the bats have managed to do enough to get them wins in 14 of their last sixteen. This continued for Kansas City as they won 10-0 dominating the White Sox and will enter a series with the Red Sox sitting at...
Michael Wacha pitched seven scoreless innings and reached a personal career milestone on Wednesday when he logged his 1500th inning pitched in Kansas City’s 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.
The Royals had one of baseball’s best rotations in 2024. Kansas City starters posted a 3.55 earned run average that trailed only the 3.38 mark of Seattle’s star-studded staff.

Royals look for the sweep against Chicago
Today, the Royals enter their final game against the White Sox, hoping to get a sweep and win their sixth straight game. Kansas City has been red hot, winning their last five games, as well as winning 14 of their last 16 games.
The offense has bounced back as Vinne Pasquantino has started to hit, and guys like Maikel Garcia, Drew Waters and Freddy Fermin have caught fire at the plate. Kansas City will...

The seven-year MLB vet has served as a starter and reliever.
The Royals have signed veteran right-handed pitcher Trevor Richards to a minor league deal and have assigned him to Triple-A Omaha, according to the Storm Chasers.
Richards is a seven-year MLB veteran with the Marlins, Rays, Brewers, Blue Jays, and Twins as both a starter and reliever with a career 4.50 ERA. Last year he appeared in 55 games with two starts for the Blue Jays and Twins, and posted a...

The Royals are on fire.
Michael Wacha has been on a roll:
After posting a 4.35 ERA in his first four starts of the year, Wacha has logged a quality start in each of his past three outings and pitched into the seventh inning in each of his last two. Wednesday was the first time he finished seven this season. He was only at 84 pitches and could have gone back out for the eighth.
“I was ready to keep going there,” Wacha said.
Kyle Wright is making strides in his...
