April 5. That was the last day that the Kansas City Royals defeated Cleveland, against whom they had lost 11 consecutive games over a span of five months. But tonight, the Royals managed to get not one, but two wins against Cleveland. Kansas City won the first 7-2 behind a nice Brady Singer start and a flurry of home runs, and won the second 4-2 with some sharp bullpen pitching and timely plate discipline.
The MVPs for today: Nicky Lopez and Hunter Dozier, who were on base a combined seven times. The LVPs for today: Carlos Santana and Ryan O’Hearn, who both went hitless in a combined nine plate appearances.
