Well…. Let’s hope that does not happen to Cole Ragans during the season, shall we?
In the Athletics game, Ragans got shelled for 8 runs in 4 2⁄3 innings of work. Former Royal Brent Rooker socked a dinger, and so did Shea Langeliers. The Royals mustered enough offense to score one run, but the game was pretty out of hand quickly. Final score 10-1, Athletics.
In the other squad game, the Royals really tried to blow it in the ninth inning. Daniel Lynch gave up 4 runs before getting pulled, which brought the Mariners within one run.
