Kansas City Royals strike deal for Minnesota Twins midfielder…
The KC Royals are certainly, undoubtedly, indisputably, playing some ball.
Four home runs and situational hitting lifted Kansas City to a 10-3 victory over the visiting Cleveland Guardians Friday night. The win secures the Royals a series split over the AL Central leader, but a win Saturday would secure their second straight series win and a win over Cleveland, who still owns the best record in the American League (51-29).
The Royals have a 3-1 record against the Guardians this season after splitting a two-game series earlier this month in Cleveland. The Royals have a 7-3 record against the Guardians in their past 10 games, stretching all the way back to the All-Star break of last season. In their last six matchups at Kauffman Stadium, the Royals have outscored the Guardians 35–19 (+16).
Come for Bo Jackson’s Royals Hall of Fame ceremony and stay to see Kansas City play winning baseball. Let us have a look at today’s starters and who will bat for both teams.
The Royals ace is making his first start against the Guardians while wearing a Royals uniform today. Ragans looks to follow up on his masterful Monday performance against the Miami Marlins, where he tossed a quality start and struck out 11 batters. The 2024 Opening Day starter is elite within Kauffman Stadium, going 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA across his last five home starts. Ragans doesn’t have much experience pitching against these Cleveland batters, but the Cy Young hopeful has ample momentum heading into this afternoon’s matchup.
