Royals Rumblings - News for July 31, 2023

Matt Quatraro praised Ryan Yarbrough for his start Sunday.

With Sunday’s start, Yarbrough lowered his July earned-run average to 2.19 and posted 15 strikeouts to just two walks in the month. Three of his four July starts were quality — minimum six innings, maximum three earned runs — and he fell just one out shy of a fourth back on July 19.

“He makes you make tough decisions at the plate,” Quatraro said. “He cuts it, sinks it, change up, breaking ball, soft contact — all this stuff that we knew he was capable of doing, and these last however many starts since he’s been back, they’ve all been the same.
