Benintendi, Perez power comeback against woeful Orioles as Royals win 3-2

Against literally the worst team in Major League Baseball, the Kansas City Royals found themselves down 1-0 and then 2-1 against the Baltimore Orioles. Thanks to some nice plays from Andrew Benintendi, a lockdown bullpen performance, and some questionable defense by Baltimore, the Royals came away with the 3-2 win.

There are few greater joys for a beleaguered starting pitcher than facing a bad lineup. For both the Royals’ Kris Bubic and the Orioles’ Zac Lowther, it was their lucky day, for both the Royals and Orioles rank among the bottom seven teams in runs scored per game in all of baseball.
