Sometimes baseball doesn’t make sense. Both the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals are bad teams this season, so a 8-2 win for the Royals is something that is within the realm of realistic outcomes with 33-year-old Austin Bibens-Dirkx making the seventh start of his major-league career, one that began just last year after toiling away for 12 years in the minors for the Mariners, Cubs, Rockies, Nationals, Blue Jays, and Rangers. Danny Duffy righting the ship and making his best start of the season was also entirely within the realm of possibility, despite the persistent troubles that have plagued the Royals’ southpaw.
