Summer Sluggin’ | Royals Have a Blast at Wrigley

Summer Sluggin’ | Royals Have a Blast at Wrigley

Ken ring, the Cubs on the field right hander has pitched very well. His last three times out, he sends one in the air deep in the right field corner but says Suzuki has room on the warning track. Keep going. Frazier’s at second and stops there. It is a windy day at Wrigley say Suzuki is not the best defensively. He’s mostly a designated hitter and that clanked off the heel of his glove. He hit in the dead spot. Clanks around a little bit. You’re unable to close the ball in. So a two base error and now a sacrifice bunt sends Frazier to third with only one out for Vinny Pao. Hammers run to deep right field back goes the right fielder Suzuki and gone Vinny Patino. Well, Vinny made him pay plus one. The Royals have a two nothing lead, make that air hurt and certainly the Royals did that pass watch. He was ready. I mean, first pitch he ain’t messing around very nice. Pasin 16th home run now and there is Seth Lugo. He makes his 19th start of the season at 294 a 10th best in the American League here. Comes the 22 Bush lines, a base hit to right over toward the line to pick it up as Cag Leone leadoff single, Michael Bush, there’s a curveball for strike 30 man. Beautiful. What a finish to this pitch next pitch is hit in the air to left center field, overcomes rave to make the catch and nothing comes of the leadoff single here. It’s two nothing Royals second inning. Freddie Fair leads it off. Freddie FMA strikes out swinging on a good high fastball called strike three is Bell is gone and there’s two away back to back punch outs 95 at the top of the zone to a board and nobody out Warner hitting 286. He’s been the best clutch hitter with men in scoring position. One hopper to Tolbert one out at second Frazier’s relay in time for two. Oh yeah. Roll them up. Nice job Toby with to stay with it a little hot shot. One hopper, all the strike band at third two down and see if Rhys Maguire can drive in a run the middle of the base and mcguire knocks in the run and it’s 2 to 1 as he in the big swing of the bat after 1st and 2nd, nobody out the double play and looking like he was going to get out of this thing and Maguire doesn’t let him off the hook. He wasted no time in his first at bat and he swung at the first pitch which was a fastball up and in, but he turned on, it hit a line drive about eight rows back into the bleachers in right field that’s ripped into right center field. It splits the gap rolls all the way to the wall, bounces off the bricks to Pete Crow Armstrong quick relay in but past Quintino standing in second with a double two for two with a couple extra base hits this afternoon. So a runner in scoring position for Salvi who singled his first time up in the air deep to left field hats to the track hats to the wall. It’s gone. Salvador Perez Homers again. He is unstoppable his 18th home run of the season. His third of this series telling you when you’re locked in, you are looking out over the plate doesn’t necessarily have to be a cookie in the middle, but Salvi was able to go down and get this poer, but he’s looking hard all the way Bush. The runner at second two down 41 Royals lead and up to Carson Kelly 32 on the way deep left, going back is way at the wall. It’s off the wall. A run will score. Carson Kelly has a double, he just missed a home run by about 5 ft and now it’s a 4 to 2 ball game as the Cubs come back. This ball is a line drive rocket to left. The only question was it going to be high enough. I actually think it hits the front edge of the basket and that’s why it got such a big kick away from the left fielder , rave back towards kind of towards third base. It comes back next pitcher garcia is lined in the center field and that would be a solid single. So garcia singles with one away and once again, Patino who has, in addition to his two run home run, a double Garcia takes off pitch out from Ray but the throws nowhere close. Yeah. Yeah. Already had already thrown over twice. So it’s a good time to run. Pasquin launches it to right center field. Crow Armstrong races back. Looks up. It’s out of here. Another home run for Vinnie Pas Quintino, his second home run of the game two more RBS. It is the Pasqua’s day in Wrigley. Boy he’s following right there just slightly behind Salvador Perez now. But like I said, let the, let the hitter knock you in. Don’t worry about stealing the base. That little wrinkle stayed in the middle and pass blocks hit it on a day that you want wind blowing out third time through the lineup for Seth Lugo and he’s got run support, a swing and a miss and he strikes out and boy Saya Suzuki really having a tough series and a swing and a miss. So the Cubs do nothing. Get two strikeouts and a shot fly ball left center in the fifth inning and now he hits Isbell clipped his wrist. So the Royals get a runner with two outs leading 62 in the sixth inning. And that brings up Tyler Tolbert batting ninth today and he drives it high in the air deep left field half to the track pat. Turns around. It’s gone. Tyler Tolbert sends one of the bleachers for his first career home run play. Like it’s your last day. believe it, Tolbert. What a stroke. Oh, congratulations. That’s beautiful. Look at the flu. They threw the ball back. Thank you. Tolbert wants that in his souvenir case. All the players are calling for it. Look at it. Oh, that is so fresh. Look at it guys. The guys are loving on him and now Seth Lugo with a six run lead, another strikeout for Lugo. He’s now struck out three straight going back to the pit that’s called strike three on I half curve gets him looking five Ks for Lugo and he struck out four in a row. And now the pitch to Swanson is swung on and miss at another fastball that was 95 and so set Lugo has retired nine in a row and he has struck out. The last five cubs batter will be matt Shaw and the pitch to matt hit high in the air deep left center back to the wall as is got a chance gone. Matt Shaw with a solo home run. He hit one just to the left of dead center. And now it’s an 8 to 3 ball game. Big swing in the back for Matty and, you know, he gets this ball up in that wind and it is blowing out hard to straight away center. Let’s hope it’s a cramp. This was during warm ups and Tyler Tolbert’s gram in the back of that right leg. Such a day, Bertoli, a stolen base, his first career home run in his first two ribbies with that home run, managed just one extra base hit in the game yesterday. Swing the ball in the air and that’s gone. Armstrong with a homer and it’s a four for PC, a home run number 27. It has been a quiet day after that swing of the bat and Lucas Irsay is on the mound to get the final three outs today right to Frazier ball game over an 8 to 4 win for the Royals this afternoon. They take the series from the Cubs at Wrigley outstanding finish and Amin with some flair.

Vinnie Pasquantino led a home run onslaught with a pair of dingers to back Seth Lugo’s quality start and give the Royals a series win over the Cubs!
