The big news about today’s game is that Kelvin Gutierrez will be making his big league debut, today. Gutierrez is the fifth such Royal to do so, this season. Chris Ellis made his debut as a Royal before being returned to the Cardinals organization.
Beyond that, you’ll see the standard stuff for a Royals game in what already appears to be a lost season, competitively. The good news is that at least there are young players making an impact already. A stark contrast from last season.
The Royals will send Jorge López to the mound. He’s rocking a K/BB ration in excess of three but is allowing too many hits and home runs to have success.
