What else is there to say about the Royals in Cincinnati that hasn’t already been said? This was a beatdown of epic proportions that virtually, simultaneously killed the Reds’ playoff hopes while doing much to secure the Royals’ own.
Brady Singer, despite a short rain delay in the second inning, pitched extremely effectively, today. He went six shutout innings, striking out six and walking only one while allowing five singles. Sam Long came on to pitch the seventh but never looked comfortable in the rain and left after securing only one out when he walked three in a row, including Jonathan India to give the Reds their only run on the day.
