The Kansas City Royals scored early and often while bullpenning their way through an 8-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants this afternoon at Oracle Park.
San Francisco ace Logan Webb starting by doing what he typically does by coaxing groundballs from the first two batters. Fortuitously, both of them found holes as Maikel Garcia slapped one the other way before Bobby Witt Jr. punched it through the 5-6 hole. Vinnie Pasquantino then dunked one into center, scoring Garcia and giving Kansas City a 1-0 lead. They had the opportunity for more, but Webb struck out the next three batters to end the inning.
