Carlos Hernández made his first big league start as a Royal tonight and the results were...mixed. He struck out two, walked none, and gave up three hits in three innings. Most of the time that would be pretty good. However, all three hits were home runs. Which is less than ideal. Fortunately the Royals Killer B’s - the bats and bullpen - backed him up. Kyle Zimmer, in particular, impressed with two-and-one-third innings without allowing a run.
The hitting was where the real action was, tonight, though. The starting nine all got hits except for Nicky Lopez and even he pulled off an RBI walk with the bases loaded.
