Cole Ragans shoved. When his team needed it most the ace straight up delivered. A career high 7.2 innings and 10 more strikeouts, while allowing 4 hits and 1 earned run.
The Royals get back to .500 after avoiding a sweep in Cleveland. Although the game didn’t start out great. After a double play ended a hopeful top of the first inning, Ben Lively struck out the side in the top of the second. With 2 outs in the bottom half of the second and Jhonkensy Noel on first, Daniel Schneemann, hitting just .053 on the season lined one into the left center gap.
