Let’s get the important bit out of the way, first. The Royals won! That’s a good thing! They’re still more or less on pace to win 90 games per Stephen Suffron. Any good team is going to have to win some ugly games along the way. But if you were hoping to see a clean and easy win, this wasn’t it.
Let’s start with the pitching. Kris Bubic made his second start of the year and this time he only allowed a single run in 4.1 innings. That’s a drastic improvement! He also walked a career-high six.
