The Royals, newly lacking their best hitter, immediately went on an offensive rampage for 10 runs against one of the best pitchers in the American League. Led by Rosell Herrera’s pair of doubles and Brian Goodwin’s 3-run home run the team covered for Brad Keller’s poor outing which saw him give up four runs while unable to escape the sixth. It seems Goodwin and Herrera are taking the Royals’ acquisition of outfielder Brett Phillips as a challenge even though Herrera will apparently be seeing some playing time at third base with Mike Moustakas’ departure and Hunter Dozier’s inability to hit well enough to stake his own claim, as of yet.
Royals next young core (?!) goes nuts, but can only split the doubleheader
