GAME 1: Royals 6, Orioles 4
Good thing they changed that doubleheader rule where they’re back to being nine-inning games, huh?
Kansas City led 3-1 halfway home, mainly thanks to the Orioles being terrible at defense. Edward Olivares did hit an RBI single, but the Royals got two fifth-inning runs when Baltimore committed errors on consecutive plays, including an instance where a should-have-been-double play ball bounced off Kyle Isbel’s back. Zack Greinke pitched well but was let down by his bullpen, as a bloop double in the seventh flipped a 3-2 Royals lead into a 4-3 deficit.
