The good news from Wednesday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals is that Patrick Bailey hit his first home run of the season and Giants pitchers didn’t issue a single walk. The bad news was almost everything else in a 9-4 defeat.
The Royals may not have walked, but they rapped out 16 hits, 13 of them singles. They didn’t hit starter Logan Webb hard until the 4th inning, but they did hit him often, accumulating 10 hits and six runs in his four innings. The Royals started the game with three straight singles off Webb, the third an RBI knock by DH Vinnie Pasquantino.
