Cole Ragans shoved and Kansas City rode early offense to a 4-0 win over the New York Mets this evening at Kauffman Stadium.
Ragans got off to an inauspicious start, putting the first two batters of the game on base. However, he managed to bear down and retire the next three to snuff the threat. Kodai Senga reciprocated, giving up rockets to Maikel Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr. to give Kansas City two runners on with nobody out. Senga almost repeated Ragans’s tightrope act, getting a fielder’s choice and a strikeout. He was unable to contain the rally, however, as Michael Massey yanked Senga’s first pitch down the right field line, narrowly missing a homer.
