Well, Bobby Witt Jr. struck out again today. That’s never what you want to see.
Hmm? What’s that? He also hit three doubles and drove in a pair? Oh. I guess it wasn’t all bad, then!
The Royals got on the board in a hurry when Andrew Benintendi and Witt hit back-to-back doubles with one out in the top of the first. Brady Singer ended his scoreless-innings streak in the second when he gave up a one-out home run to Trevor Larnach. It’s hard to ever suggest a home run should have been caught, but as close as Whit Merrifield came to dragging that one back across the fence, you have to think Michael A.
