Not the prettiest game ever between these two cross-state rivals but nearly 6 hours after first pitch, the Royals get the win.
In the battle of the lefties, the young Bubic outperforms the veteran Jon Lester. Of course the day didn’t start out well for Bubic. On the second pitch of the game, rookie Dylan Carlson drove a long shot over the centerfield wall for the early Cardinals 1-0 lead. Bubic bounced back to limit the early damage.
Through one time through the order, only Salvy reached via walk leading to an easy first and second inning.
