Royals blasted in Seattle, 8-2
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY SportsBrad Keller gave up four runs before the Royals got an out. That was the end of the game, essentially.
The final score was 8-2, Mariners. They salvaged the last game of the series to avoid getting swept. It wasn’t a good day for Keller. There really isn’t a ton to analyze.
The first four hitters for Seattle: double, walk, homer, homer. Keller didn’t give up any additional runs until the fourth when the Mariners hung three more on him. He gave up seven and all in 4.0 innings. He needed 95 pitches to get 12 outs, and his ERA ballooned to 4.45 in one of his worst outings of the year. He K’d five and walked two.
