I think most of us knew how this game was going to go after the first inning. The Royals forced Kwang-hyun Kim to throw 21 pitches but only seven were in the strike zone. The Royals got only one walk out of it because they were swinging at everything.
Meanwhile, in the bottom of the inning Brad Keller’s struggles finding the strike zone and keeping the ball low from earlier in the season reappeared. But the Cardinals watched pitches and the first two batters walked and later scored on a Yadier Molina single.
The Royals made it a game in the fourth thanks to a pair of two-out RBI singles by Michael A.
