Is Bobby Witt Jr. About to be Named Madden 25 Cover Athlete?
The Kansas City ruling figures will take on the Cleveland bridge statues this evening at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Kansas City jumped out to a lead in the series-opener but collapsed down the stretch en route to a loss. After a rainout, they’ll look to even the series this afternoon against the AL Central leaders.
Brady Singer will start today for the Royals. Singer, returning from an illness that forced him to miss his last start, has thus far bounced back nicely from a rough 2023, posting a 2.63 ERA across 11 starts. This is fueled by a career-high strikeout rate and career-low home run rate. While his 4.35 xERA spells trouble, he has allowed more than two runs in just two of his starts so far. Singer last faced Cleveland in his final start of 2023, allowing four runs across six innings.
