In a day where Brady Singer struggled, the Royals ended up winning anyway thanks to a four-run eighth inning, sharp pitching by Jackson Kowar and James McArthur, and Nelson Velazquez’s 14th home run on the year. Kansas City ended up on top of Cleveland 6-4.
Let’s hone in on that eighth inning, which is an inning the Guardians likely want to forget. Kyle Isbel walked to lead off the inning. Maikel Garcia then popped out to second base, and Bobby Witt Jr. lined out to Myles Straw. So, you know, two outs.
Then the fun began. MJ Melendez walked.
