Series Secured | Cameron and Garcia Shine in Series Finale vs. Guardians

Series Secured | Cameron and Garcia Shine in Series Finale vs. Guardians

On a hot afternoon in Kansas City with a win. The Royals can take a series from the Guardians who are in front of them in the standings and now the Guardians will get their first look at Noah Cameron , look, maybe they get more looks, but you better watch that ball because he’ll slip it by your bat. That’s for sure that barrel, he misses him this young man. If he keeps his continued composure, he’s going to one of the Royals best pitchers for sure. He’s already stepped up this year to prove that stephen Kwon ready to step into the batter’s box and hitting 286 with a 110 hits next pitch to hit on the ground right side of the infield. That’s going to get through for a base. Knock Salvador Perez couldn’t cut it off and stephen Quan starts the ball game with a base hit for the Guardian. What a great look that is, has been swinging the really well of late and now Mart-n is hit by a pitch and the Guardians have their first two on base yesterday in game two. Cleveland came out there with a ton of patience and drew four straight walks to begin the ballgame. They put three runs on the board in that inning and never looked back. You love to jump out to a hot start today, driving a base hit center field on his way to third bases. He’ll stop there and they are loaded up with nobody out here in the first, just like game two of the double header yesterday that these come on two hits and a hit batter. Yesterday came on walks. So they’re off to another very good start to find a way to get some outs before they can do any damage. You would hope to give them a run for a double play ball. David Fry appears in the series for the first time in the air, very shallow right field and makes the call. No tag. That’s a beauty. Now he’s starting to get his pitches to work, started to go around. He couldn’t check, that’s a strikeout. So two huge outs on the four and five hitters and that brings up arias Gabriel Arias hitting 230 broke his bat and a back play by to the inning with an exclamation point. He wasn’t even looking, but it went right into the glove. A Houdini for Cameron, the Guardians load them up with nobody out and they do not score. Joey Cantillo is taking the hill for the Guardians today making his fifth start. This will be his fourth career appearance. But his first start against Kansas City and he walked him. So now the Royals have a base runner, Bobby with Junior to the plate. 118 hits batting average. 280 7-Up, the right field line and Bobby to second India to third. And that’s his major league leading 34 double the year. Wonderfully placed. Waiting, waiting, waiting and Then fire there. It is 89 away from him. That’s exactly what you want to do. Let’s see if the Royals can add a run or two with this golden opportunity. Paso coming up with 61 runs batted in and there’s a gold glove like play by Santana Cantillo gets to the bag. The Royals get a run right on cue perfectly done. Then he will take the RB I, although they score a run and that guy from second goes to third wit does another opportunity but a good play by Santana Garcia with a runner at third and one out bobbled at third and the run will score. And Then Ramirez got a little careless with his throw and Santana had to help him out and garcia drives in Bobby Wood Junior, the Royals lead two nothing. He was very fortunate on two areas. Number one, the ball was right in front of him after the fumble. And Then Santana, as I mentioned , saved him an air by scooping up the low throw at first hard hit ball again to ramirez set and the long throw on the money side retired but Kansas City leads 2 to 0 after one. Royals two and Cleveland nothing and Randall Gretch about to get his first plate appearance. Remember the Royals acquired in a trade with Arizona yesterday base hit left field in his first at bat as a Royal. Don’t you love it? Waited for a changeup that floated. Are you kidding? That’s a right handed hitter’s dream to get up a changeup in the middle. Like that, Adam looking perfectly placed fastball outside corner at the knees first strikeout for Cantillo one down in the second. That’s the first out here comes luke Maley got him looking, tell you what, that’s the second hitter. He locked up looking at a fastball two down. Yeah, he was throwing all curveballs change ups in that first inning trying to, you know , showing everything, but you got to establish that fastball. It certainly helps with the off speed and gets a swing and a miss out in front after a leadoff single three straight strikeouts for Joe Cantillo. He does the job. So john Rave who struck out looking his first time around this time draws a full count. Walk. He’s on at first with one out for Luke is now wearing number 17. He’s been wearing number 15 since he came up, but 15 is the number that Randall has worn his entire big league career. Juan trying to cut it off deep is going to be Wade home Arias Relay. Andy’s glove. It’s an RB I double for number 17. Luke Maley. The Royals add to their lead. It’s 3 to 0 in the bottom of the fourth inning. New number. No problem. Luke Maley has got his first start as a Royal since mid May and he delivers and Noah Cameron who worked around the bases loaded and nobody out right out of the gate in the top of the first inning, got out of that, but he is set down 12 of the last 14 and a pop up right side shallow right India going back coming in. Jonathan wants it. He’ll make the catch and Naylor is zero for two retiring batters. You hit your spots like he’s doing now stay right there one hitter at a time and there’s a pop up behind third Garcia with the shades on back pedals and gets to the outfield grass and makes the catch and there’s a couple of pop flies, little harmless, pop flies that out to begin this fifth inning Cameron deals and a swing and a miss and he strikes him out and that takes care of the Guardians. A couple of pop outs and a strikeout and no camera just keeps rolling along. We go to the bottom of the fifth inning, three nothing Royals. So two quick outs for fed just in the game and it will be Garcia now also had two productive plate appearances. A ground out for an RB I in the first inning 44th run and he also draw a walk today left field with the heat that is plenty out of here. And Michael garcia has his second home run of the series home run number 10 on the year for Mike with a win roaring to left. He had a liner to left and it was out of here. That’s back to back days with a home run. Garcia also homered in game one of the double header yesterday, a two run shot, double digit homers too for the first time in his career. Take all the little the Royals can get because the Guardians are dangerous. There’s no lead is safe against them 44th appearance this season for Serpa. He’s got a 364 a and after a rocky start to the season and Serpa has been very reliable and very good. He faces Gabriel Arias to start the seven hit high in the air deep to right center field back on it to, it is gone over the wall. Gabriel A showing some opposite field. Thunder breaks up the shutout for Kansas City pitching and gets the Guardians on the board. That’s their first hit since Santana’s leadoff single in the fourth inning and only their fourth hit of the day. Carlos Est-vez will get Gabriel Arias and Royals pitching today has held the Guardians to one run. Six hits rock to center Tolbert on the run it’s over his head or rather Isbel will play off the wall and into second base with a leadoff double is Gabby is, I’ll tell you what, Rick his last two swings tells me he has figured it out and is locked back in. Now, that was 85 mile an hour slide outside edge, but he stayed back on it. You can see how he follows through those legs. Go to work because it was down a little bit and away from the plate and he drilled a double in the right center field. Good start. Got the barrel on it for sure. Here’s Nolan Jones, pinch hitting, jammed and garcia makes the play in foul territory. One fly ball center field, the win pushing it back plenty of room for Isbel to make the play and tagging at second going to third is Arias. But now there are two out. Now the Royals are one strike away from taking two out of three from the Guardian left center field and slicing is be is there to take care of business? Yes, sir. 27th. Save for MrEst-vez. Est-vez. Great job Luke Bailey did that hard job today behind the plate but michel garcia hit his 10th home run. Got two ribbies 44 to 45. Nice job. The Royals offense scored early and it was so good to see Noah Camera throw up some zeros up there with five strong and the pen to win.

After splitting the first two game of the series vs. the Clevaland Guardains, Noah Cameron and Maikel Garcia led the way to give the Royals a second straight series win!
