Hunter Dozier’s out with a back strain tonight. That’s bad. Dude’s been hitting like Mike Trout this year. In his place tonight will be...Chris Owings at third base! Woo frickin’ hoo! This has a cascading effect on the Royals hastily-assembled and bizarre roster construction. Jorge Soler is playing in right field, and Lucas Duda is in the lineup. Neither of those things are good, and are emotionally akin to a toddler sitting across from you and an extremely sweaty guy sitting next to you on a cross-country flight.
Homer Bailey is taking the mound, and if he climbs back to being worthwhile this year it will be one of the more interesting comeback stories of this season.
