Back Home With a Win | 6th Inning Homers Power Royals Over Nationals
Bailey Falter back in April as a member of the Pirates threw seven shutout innings against the Nats about that overall pretty good numbers in his career off of that team. Look, he’s with the Royals now and here we go with James Wood about to lead off fastball taken and it’s walk number 67 8 most in the national league. A good start with what a leadoff walk brings in CJ. Abrams right through there. Strike three called Paul Young curve inside corner, strike three called so Falter after the leadoff walk, a couple of strikeouts first Abrams. Then Paul the young bringing Josh Bell, the designated hitter Bell had a huge series in San francisco six for nine with a homer which came right handed. He also drew three walks. He’s going to Jack one to left heading for the seats. See you later first and the Nets have a deuce a walk in the two out blast number 15 for Josh 18 bullet. My goodness elevate to celebrate on this one hanging slider. It really has a matter which side of the plate he’s been swinging from is he’s been hot either side and hitting the long ball from either side of the plate. 20 six year old right hander, Cade Cavalli from Bixby Oklahoma goes to work with a two nothing lead in the bottom of the first big league start of the season last Wednesday four and a third shutout innings. Three hits one walk six. K’s, here’s Bobby Witt Junior. The Royals lineup was a little late to come out today. They were waiting on the back update on wit and now kind of a little half swing blooper to right field for just reached out in almost a half swing and he made contact appears that he had a visit with the Razor between yesterday and today, maybe for some nick Lofton magic after he had an encounter with a razor. Why not? Here’s the grounder left side to young. It’s the shortstop on the pivot in this day and age with infielders moving around. You’ll see a lot of 56 to 3 double plays. Lyle with another extra base hit and a one out double for the rookie right fielder. Here in the second inning runner of second one out here is Garcia Jr to the left side. Junior keeps it on the infield on a jump and a long throw second out. And that was brilliant. My, oh my, what a play that was showing off those gold glove award winning skills at shortstop if your back was bothering. I don’t know if you could make that jump throw like that. The 11 on the way, fly ball, center field pretty well struck is bell on the dead run and he gets there about two steps shy of the warning track. So back to back singles garcia will stop at second. So a good start for the Royals here in the second inning down two to nothing and Adam Frazier will be coming up, Frazier swinging the bat. Well, at the moment, he’s three and two. Since rejoining Kansas City left handed hitter, there’s another base hit that’s on the pitch. And here comes Michael garcia and the Royals are on the board. It is 21 fastball, 99 hit off the handle the other way, walked him on four pitches has faced four hitters here in the second. He’s yet to retire a hitter, three singles. Now a walk that calls for a meeting in the center of the diamond and nick Lofton will come up with the bases loaded and nobody out. So the Royals perhaps on the inning right hander. First pitch is hit to center field, well, hit young center fielder to his right to make the catch. It’s going to tie the game all three runners, tag runner to third is going to be safe, so often produces a sack fly that gets Perez home. So a very productive out. 2nd and 3rd 1 out, two runs in great pitch in on the hands. There’s been a lot of room and foul ground here for a long time and the Daniel Lo puts away a huge second out. He’s positive right there. Build on it for Cade Cavalli will pitch to Jassy with a chance to get out of this. Having yielded just the two runs swing and a miss, he struck him out on a curveball big time for Cade Cavalli’s first strikeout. He does limit the damage back to back walks. The Nationals have runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody out. Dale and Lyle coming up, here’s the pitch swung on him is strike three. Lyle chased a slider down and away. That’s a big strikeout for Bailey Vater. A big first out in this top of the fourth inning too that brings up Luis Garc-a Junior, another left handed hitter slider poked in the air straight away right field. Mires is underneath it and he makes the catch. Both runners stay put and now there are two outs and Bailey Fater is one out away from wriggling free of a jam of his own making with two out low at second. Adams at first in a 2 to 2 game here at the top of the fourth inning, swung on missed strike three falter got young to go on a curveball in the dirt and Bailey Falter rebounds from back to back walks to retire the next three. Daniel Lynch, the fourth is taken over Bailey for the second time in as many starts as a royal only goes for a line drive shallow left that will fall in for a hit. James Wood serves one the other way. That’s the what we know a four game hitting streak six out of 16 as the batter now is former Royal Paul Young and this one high in the air to right center , it’s got some carry serious carry. See you later, Paul the Young, his second opposite field homer of his four on the year. Four, two nets. What a swing right here from the young just destroys this 113 off the bat. Two run homers are nice. Now, the focus on Kate Cavalli, possibly his last inning, 75 pitches, 44 strikes. He’s retired 12 of the last 14. Now the win the kick here it comes and he lays off, it’s and outside ball four, so not what you wanted there. A leadoff walk and Garcia is out at first with nobody out for Salvador Perez Nationals pitching coach Jim Hickey comes out of the third base dugout. Salvi’s one for two tonight and he singled and scored in the second inning and Salvi drives it high in the air deep to the left field corner and gone a two run homer for Salvador Perez. We are square at four in the bottom of the sixth inning. Salvi’s 21st home run of the season and the 294th of his major league career brand new ball game at the K now the batter’s adam Frazier from the left side and that and Frazier has another hit and out of the dugout comes miguel Cairo, the Nationals manager and this will be the end of the night for right hander Kate Cavalli, the Nationals new pitcher right hander Jackson Rutley hard shot Lowe. Now the throw out is the call that’s second with Abrams having to make the tag the pitch. Lofton laces it into left center field that finds grass for a hit. Young, grabs it on a hop and tosses it back towards second. It’s a two out single for Nick Lofton. He’s on base for his second time tonight. Lofton leads off first and brings up kyle Isbell and Isbell cracks it high in the air deep to right field, fly back. He’s out of it out of here. A two run homer for kyle Isbell. He stays red hot and he puts the Royals in front 6 to 4. He sent it right into the Royals bullpen. Look at the play up there by, it’s the Royals second two run homer of the inning nationals. Get their leadoff man on and brings up Lyle Lyle two out of three and now he lines it to left field. Nick Robs Lyle of a hit and fortunately he caught it or that would have been trouble if that thing gets past him. The nationals have an inning going in a big inning perhaps. Thank you so true to form the Washington bullpen has let the game get away. Bases are loaded with one out for mike Yrs hits it in the air to left field. Tolbert wants to run and wood is just going to play it to third base. So he knew the runner at third and sacrifice fly gives the Royals a three run lead. Excellent. That’s exactly what you want to do. Here’s Bobby Witt Jr swing and a miss, he struck him out on a slow breaking ball pitched by Asa strikes out one of the best hitters in the league. Carlos Est-vez goes for save number 30 with 30 saves. He would be second to the Padres Robert Suarez for the second most in the major leagues. He’s already leading the American League right now. Nationals still have life young draws the two out walk and brings in Josh Bell ground ball left side Garcia, right. And the Royals really needed that one Royals win it 7 to 4.
The Royals returned home to open a long homestand with a win, thanks to clutch hitting and big home runs from Salvador Perez and Kyle Isbel.

Watching Bobby Baseball play short is beautiful ๐ฎ
Im still waiting for the royals first grand slam
Pressed play and somehow Mr. Crowley by Ozzy played on Spotify at the same time. Pleasantly surprised, and fun to watch through with the song playing. Keep it up Yalz. RIP ozzy.
'True to form, the Washington bullpen lets the game get away' THAT is one long-winded insult. Not inaccurate, though.
Vinnie looking like someone named Vinnie with that shave lol
