Pull out the participation trophy, the Kansas City Royals avoided the losing streak this time! After dropping two of three to the Guardians earlier this week, they showed up with a strong showing tonight against the first-place Minnesota Twins. On a Friday night, heading into the final weekend before the August 1st trade deadline, it seemed like the Royals were happy to showcase some of their potential trade assets. Jose Cuas, Austin Cox, and Carlos Hernandez each pitched scoreless innings to lock down the win after Brady Singer spun a gem over five innings.
The night started for Singer with a strikeout of Carlos Correa.
