Last night, the Royals quietly accomplished something almost literally unprecedented. - Their SP didn't go 5 IP - Their SP allowed 12 baserunners - They only scored 3 runs - They won The Cardinals, on 5/22/1949, are the only other team in MLB history to accomplish all 4 things.
Best Teams at Turning Grounders & Bunts Into Outs 1. Royals 2. Rangers 3. Mariners 4. Braves 5. Dodgers 6. Phillies 28. Twins 29. Mets 30. Reds
YES Network had every angle (and all the audio) from Aaron Boone’s ejection, but this is the money shot. Shows how Hunter Wendelstedt tossed Boone … because of a fan behind the dugout. To which Wendelstedt says: "I don't care who said it. You're gone."
The Royals scored eight runs in their previous four games. They have nine runs through seven innings tonight. #Baseball
An alternate take.
Salvador Perez picks Gunnar Henderson off third base and the Orioles burned their challenge trying to get the call overturned. That's called a win-win for the Royals.
Methinks Michael Massey will be back with the Royals tomorrow.

Sunday: Salvador Perez looks like he might have suffered a serious injury. Wednesday: Salvador Perez crushes a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning.
Though I knew this was coming, it still punches me in the gut. One of my first friends in this business and one of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet. There is a little less sunshine in Kansas City today. RIP, Slacker

On the biggest play of the season, Patrick Mahomes frantically went to an audible — for a play the Chiefs hadn't run all season. Here's the rest of the story on how a "head-scratching" call helped the Chiefs win Super Bowl 58. “It was really cool." kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kan…

The Royals have started 11-6. Last year, they didn't pick up their 11th victory until May 10. espn.com/mlb/team/sched…
Salvador Perez is one of the toughest players in sports.

Can’t help but think of Lamar Hunt tonight. He would have loved seeing 72,610 soccer fans at Arrowhead. He never wavered in believing MLS would be huge in the United States.
The Royals crush the Astros and finish a perfect 7-0 homestand. KC is 8-2 at home this season. They didn't win their 8th game at The K last year until May 28th.

#Royals starter Alec Marsh exits game after being hit by a line drive in the 5th inning. The baseball apparently hit Marsh in the forearm area. Angel Zerpa is on to pitch out of the bullpen.
Thanks to the crew @BallySportsKC for the shoutout last night. Busted in mid-imbibe, but enjoyed a great game with the fam, including our daughter, @itsrachswan (pictured).
You know what is crazy… that’s actually Alex Gordon swinging 🤣
@TheRealHos305 @MattStrahm Love seeing one of my all time Royals collecting! Need more Hosmer cards tbh.
Attendance tonight for Bark at the Park night at The K: 11,357 people and 499 dogs. Should have brought Harry to be dog No. 500😕
Special moment sharing a desk with my friend @ChrisWittyngham today at @CBSSportsGolazo. Couldn’t help but think of the late great Grant Wahl, who unknowingly was the genesis of our friendship. It was their podcast that caused me to reach out to Witty just over a year ago…
Support local journalism!
Hey @anne__rogers I will buy a subscription to the Star if you do some digging on why the Royals insist on running that contact play despite having little to no success with it
Brad Pitt was a very good Billy Beane, mannerisms and all. The only and probably biggest negative is they barely, if at all, mentioned starting pitchers Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder and Barry Zito, who were really the reason they were in the hunt at the end.
Do you think Moneyball is a good movie?
Since @ColeRagans joined the @Royals, he has 118 K's thru 16 starts...since 1961, only SIX left handers have 118+ K's thru their 1st 16 GS w/ a club: Catch Cole and the #Royals tonight at The K as he squares off against 2021 NL Cy Young winner, Corbin Burnes. #WelcomeToTheCity
Was too busy hitting grounders to 2nd in the show. I’m on it now for sure! When does UF play next ?
@TheRealHos305 It's the best product in college athletics. Should've been watching a long time ago

@reggis4va93 @pgrathoff Still salty after being swept in October, 2014. Thanks for playing.
@pgrathoff wow that dude is upset. maybe it's LaCanfora's burner account
And their first baserunner came with two outs in the 4th inning.
The Royals scored eight runs in their previous four games. They have nine runs through seven innings tonight. #Baseball
This was so poignant, emotional and powerful. Well done @ToddWalsh. What sports and community are all about. If you have time, a highly recommend checking it out.
Thank you, @ToddWalsh. Take five minutes and watch this. Promise it's worth it. #Yotes
