Old friend Tim Hill will try to retire Carter and Cags

Tyler Tolbert is 2-for-2 in stolen bases since returning from the minors.

We do not deserve Bobby Witt Jr. But I’m glad the Royals have him.

BOBBY BOMB FOR THE LEAD!!!!

Danny doesn't care, strikes him out and gets the Yankees in order.

WHAT ARE YOU SAVING THE CHALLENGES FOR, CARTER????

Danny Drips will try to contain the top of the Yankees order in the eighth

NBC's MLB broadcasts are so vastly superior to ESPN's. ESPN continues to believe the best way to televise a baseball game is by distracting you from it.

Now THAT is a hustle double from Loftin

Michael Wacha continues the starting pitching mastery of the weekend with 7 innings and only 2 runs against the Yankees. Probably want to score some runs before the KC bullpen gets involved.

Sonic Slam got somebody close to a couple grand!

All tied up. 🫡

Most home runs ever at Kauffman Stadium: T-1. George Brett - 136 **T-1. Salvador Perez - 136**

SALVADONG! TIE GAME!

Didn't expect to see our old friend on here.

BOBBY

Yankees are wasting a lot of scoring opportunities early. Royals shield probably get some of their own and take better advantage.

Oh my goodness, really nice to see that swing from Vinnie. It's a two-out double, but that's the Vinnie we have been missing for most of the year. It'd be great if he got red hot about now.

Really fantastic recovery there to keep the leadoff double from coming home.

They get one on a sacrifice fly. Not sure that's enough.

The Royals have taken three walks this inning, Salvy had to challenge a strike onto ball 4 but then Jac came back from 0-2 and Collins from 1-2 to load the bases. Would be really nice to take advantage.

Watching the Yankees bat against the Royals, it feels amazing anyone ever gets them out. They won't chase, they won't swing and miss, they always hit it to where the fielders aren't. This is infuriating.

Maikel has been dropping the bat in pain after fouling balls off the past couple of days. It's becoming a concern.

One of the concerns for the Royals earlier this year was the high pit h counts for starting pitchers, especially in the first inning. That has not been a problem the last two or today. Wacha uses 8 pitches to go 1-2-3 in the first.

Royals vs Yankees, Game 54 Gamethread

Cole Ragans to be “shut down for a couple days” after rehab outing

Yankees series preview: Can we ever beat these guys?

Salvy leads the charge, Royals take series against Seattle, 8-6

I forgot to #HEYHEYHEYHEY The Royals owned the Battle for Grass Creek this year. Can they carry the hot offense into the Yankees series tomorrow?

I'm not sure how that's a single, but I'll take the runs!

A pinch runner who steals a base instead of getting picked off? Nice!

If John Schreiber is going to be good again, on top of Danny Drips, this bullpen could be really good when Strahm comes back and even better if last year's Estévez can return.

The Captain and Carter flip the script!

Another RBI knock for Salvy!

The curse is over! Salvy drives home Vinnie and the Royals lead 6-3!

Danny Drips lets one inherited runner in, but preserves the lead and Lugo's quality start. Royals lead 5-3 as we head to the bottom of the seventh.

Won't be a complete game from Lugo, today. But still a really nice follow-up to Stephen Kolek's outing.

The Royals still have two at-bats to break the Hawaiian Bros Curse

Can't wait for the full ABS

CARTER COMES THROUGH, TOO!!!!!! 4-1!

SALVY COMES THROUGH! THE ROYALS TAKE THE LEAD ON A 2-RBI SINGLE!!!

Maikel needed an inside out swing, but at least he hit it hard. Bobby was WAY too aggressive and the Royals are on the verge of wasting this gifted opportunity.

And that is why I don't hate Kyle Isbel bunting in the fifth inning. Runners at second and third with no outs for the top of the order.

The Royals have put a runner on in every inning but the first, including a leadoff single that inning. Still no runs. Only one at-bat with RISP.

17 pitches in the third, 19 in the other 3 innings combined. He's going to pitch a complete game on 50 pitches or something.

The good news: The Royals don't look helpless at the plate The bad news: They also don't look especially good

After using 13 pitches to get through the first two innings, Lugo took 17 to get through the third. The bum.

Lugo has pitched 2 innings on 12 pitches.

Stephen Kolek pitches a CGSO, Royals beat Mariners 5-0

Complete game Kolek!
