This is more runs than one should give the Royals. Perez homers, Olivares triples, Pratto knocks him in. New Kansas City pitcher Josh Taylor throws a pitch that Jose Miranda doesn’t like, so he makes it go away over the outfield wall. Twins 7-2ĥ: López decides to speed up pace of play the old-fashioned way and send the Royals down on seven pitches. So Jorge Polanco says “all aboardl” and hits career dong #100. Unfortunately Correa pops up (yep, on another inside fastball). Kepler walks, and Taylor steals third (he’s the only Twin to successfully steal a base this season, so his three nabs lead the team). Nobody’s covering second for some reason, so Taylor gets there easily. then he turns around and walks back to home. Then, CIrcus Baseball! Taylor lays down the safety squeeze, and when Salvador Perez picks it up there isn’t really a play at first. Joey “Wheels” Gallo leads off with a triple off the limestone flower planters, and Vazquez hits a short flyout.
Edward Olivares doubles and Nick Pratto knocks him in, sadly without any headfirst sliding. Nobody would ever tire of this!Ĥ: OK, so López does allow another run, but it comes after two outs, so it’s not a REAL run. You know which part I mean: “lie lie lie, lie lie lie lie lie lie lie“ etc. I think that in Kansas City, they should play part of “The Boxer” every time he strikes somebody out. Jordan Lyles has his first scoreless inning. López could load all the bases (even the secret ones you don’t know about) and still nobody would score. It wouldn’t have mattered if he did, anyways. Twins 3-1ģ: The Royals’ Michael Massey is the anti-Larnach he hasn’t walked once in 71 ABs this season. It’s a trap! Fortunately, Michael A “Tater” Taylor draws a tater of a walk, and Kepler gets his second RBI of the game on a sac fly. Jose Miranda doubles him to third, and Gallo get a walk of his own. Minnesota’s Master Of Strolls, Trevor Larnach, does what he does and takes the leadoff walk. Keplomb! (It’s a combination of Kepler, aplomb, and bomb.) That is a crummy word combo but the homer counts anyways. He scores, that’ll be it for the rest of the game, I promise! away with two strikes, and Witt doubles off the wall. so, for once the fix is in on our side! Inning-by-inning notes:ġ: After being bad in his last start, López has an ominous beginning here. Some questionable umping worked in Minnesota’s favor late. Hot Twins bats staked starter Pedro López to a pretty big lead in this one, and he managed to give most of it back (with help from a dramatastic bullpen).
