  9. Didn’t realize it was a day game today so this was a nice surprise to pop up

  10. That was fun. The offense was on fire. After all his struggles this season, it is nice seeing salvy have a big game. Go Royals.

  11. so the underrated play of the game is Isbel catching the bases loaded liner from Flores to end the 4th. Statcast has that ball with an expected batting average of .990

  13. What a pleasant surprise to win this game and series. Wasn’t so much worried about the bullpen game but didn’t expect the offense to come alive today. Keep it going into MIN!

  18. Great outing by the boys today. Bullpen held strong and offense was amazing. Well done by the royals. Now onto the twins to put an end to their hot streak

  19. I don’t know how we turned on the offensive tap without Renfroe and Bilbo Baggins in the lineup. Take thses bats to the land of lakes and lfg.

  21. I’m sad that the Royals game is already over. But luckily most MiLB games are free to watch on the app. Going to go down the rabbit hole and watch Mozzicato’s debut and Jac’s game in Salt Lake.

  24. Perhaps Salvy got rid of a cursed bat Tuesday night when it exploded in his final AB. Nice game Captain!
