Royals manager Ned Yost met with the media ahead of Friday’s matchup against Baltimore.
Coming off a series win in Tampa Bay, Yost said that he was pleased with how the Royals swung the bats against what he called a very good Rays pitching staff.
However, he did acknowledge the struggles of Alex Gordon, who tonight will start in the ninth spot in the order for just the second time in his career. Yost said that Gordon’s struggles are primarily based on not seeing the ball well and Gordon is currently working hard to get back in a groove.
