Baseball is a weird sport. Not because of the result of this game. The Royals lost 6-2 and that was pretty predictable. But I’m old enough to remember when Joey Gallo was a mediocre third-baseman. Now, suddenly, he’s an above average centerfielder. And man, he’s walking in nearly 20% of his plate appearances. What must it be like to have a guy who can do that on your team?
Anyway, yeah, predictable game. Joey Gallo hit a two-run homer to get the scoring started in the fourth inning off of Homer Bailey. The Rangers scored two more runs before Bailey was pulled and they never looked back.
