The baseball monarchs of the midwest will take on the baseball snakes of the southwest this afternoon with the series on the line. Both teams have won a game by a 5-4 score, and Kansas City will look for their first series win in nearly three weeks.
Ryan Yarbrough will make his first start for the Royals and his first start in the regular season since August 21 last year. He pitched as the bulk-guy following a Taylor Clarke opener appearance last Friday and went four innings, allowing two earned runs on a homer. He only completed six innings twice in nine starts last year, so don’t expect him to go deep in the game.
