Royals pitchers did not issue a single walk in tossing nine shutout innings in a 2-0 win over the Rockies to salvage the series on Sunday. Brady Singer lasted 5 2⁄3 innings, allowing just five hits while striking out seven to even his record to 4-4.
Singer cruised for most of his start, allowing just one Rockies baserunner to even reach scoring position. He threw 95 pitches, 65 for strikes, with 12 whiffs. He threw just three changeups, instead relying on his slider 42 times to generate 9 whiffs.
Rockies starter Kyle Freeland matched him through the first four frames, retiring the first 13 hitters of the game.
