Adam Frazier’s ninth-inning two-run home run gave the Royals a come-from-behind 2-1 win over the Angels Friday night. The Royals move to 24-16 and are eight games over .500 for the first time since June 1, 2016.
The Royals have historically struggled against Angels starter Griffin Canning and they continued that tonight. The lefty allowed just five baserunners over 5 1⁄3 shutout innings. In five career starts against the Royals, he lowered his ERA to 1.46, while he has a 5.08 ERA in 69 career games against everyone else. The Royals wasted a two-out triple by MJ Melendez in the second, then stranded two runners in the fourth.
