Brady Singer did not have a good game. He had a 1-2-3 first inning but struggled to find the strike zone in the second inning and struggled to throw pitches anywhere but down the middle in the third. He ended up allowing the first six batters he faced in that inning to reach base before he got pulled. All but one of them scored to give the Orioles a seven-to-nothing lead. The Royals would not bring the tying run to the plate again.
Former Royal Jorge López started his night pretty well but loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth inning.
