Trevor Cahill‘s struggles really epitomized the struggles of the entire Kansas City Royals pitching staff since Salvador Perez was placed on the DL. The Royals have now played 48 innings since Salvy was removed last Friday night, and have allowed 42 runs in those 48 innings.
The only good stretch of pitching in those 48 innings came from rookie starter Jake Junis. He dealt eight innings of one run baseball in game two of the doubleheader on Sunday. Junis has looked better and better every time he’s returned from Omaha.
