It’s long felt like the Royals struggle with rookie and/or random journeyman pitchers for some inexplicable reason, and tonight was no exception. Cody Morris made his big league debut last Friday and got smacked around by Seattle, allowing three runs and seven baserunners in just two innings. He was nails tonight, but it was all for naught as Kansas City rallied in the ninth to walk off the Guardians 2-1.
Both teams managed three baserunners in their first inning, yet neither scored. The Guardians loaded the bases with two outs off Zack Greinke, but he got an easy lineout to Kyle Isbel in left to strand the runners.
