Hey, the Kansas City Royals lost another game! This is their ninth loss in a row. Today’s loss was a 3-2 walkoff loss against the Detroit Tigers, thanks to a JaCoby Jones home run against rookie Brad Keller. Whooo!
Regardless of what else happened in this game, it would be inappropriate to begin with anything other than a discussion of how great Jason Hammel was. Hammel, in the second year of a two-year deal, has been a quiet workhorse for the Royals rotation since his very first game in blue and gold. And today, Hammel was nothing short of excellent in a season that has been anything but.
