In the midst of a lost season, Kansas City had a chance to finally do something cool today. With a loss, they could have paid tribute to Royals legend Fetty Wap by moving their record to 17-38. Unfortunately, they did not come through in an 8-4 win.
Yusei Kikuchi did his damndest to prevent the Royals from achieving the Fetty Wap record. He refused to throw strikes to a team that hadn’t scored in three days, walking four batters in the first inning. He was pulled before he could complete the inning, having allowed three runs and thrown 45 pitches.
