Royals vs Astros Game 27 Gamethread
The 12-14 Royals open a three-game weekend series against the 13-11 Houston Astros tonight. You can see the series preview here. Game starts at 6:40pm Kauffman time.
Seth Lugo takes the mound for the Royals. While his 3.90 ERA is respectable, his underlying peripherals this season have taken a nosedive. Fewer strikeouts, more walks, more dingers. He gave up four home runs against the Yankees back on the 14th, which is obviously having an outsized effect on a small sample size and is his worst game to date. If his “worst” game so far is going 6 2⁄3 innings with 4 runs allowed, I’ll take it.
