The Royals lost their Friday-night opener to the Twins, 9-1, on Friday night. The game was woefully unnoteworthy from a box score perspective.
Brady Singer got hit on the foot by a screaming line drive by Josh Donaldson, causing him to exit the game after two innings. Tyler Zuber came in and gave up a three-run homer to some scrub named Alex Kirilloff, who entered hitting .115 and somehow managed to hit two dingers on the night.
Brady Singer left tonight's game with a left heel contusion, he is day-to-day. #Royals
