The Royals have followed up winning 5 of 6, by losing 4 games in a row. In those 4 losses they’ve scored 7 runs, allowed 42. Been no hit for 8.1 innings in one of them and lost 13-2 and 22-1. To say the least, ever since Tuesday night, it’s been rather painful to watch the Royals in action.
The Royals are just 2-7 versus the upstart White Sox, losing the last 6 matchups, in fact the only two wins the Royals have over the Southsiders this season are a pair of 2-0 games. So, when the White Sox score a run against the Royals this season, they are 7-0.
Jac Caglianone was in the lineup today but got scratched due to left groin soreness. Nick Loftin has to be feeling the same to be honest. I don’t say that to poke fun at Nick, because mercy that looked extremely painful yesterday.
Anyways, Bobby Witt Jr. is playing shortstop again today, so that’s a positive. Luinder Avila starts today. It’ll be interesting to see which Avila shows up today.
Here is the Royals lineup.
The Chicago White Sox are 43-38 on the season and winning the AL Central. Imagine hearing that in 2024. They have lost 100 games three straight seasons and were the worst team ever two years ago. “How have they already surpassed the Royals?” I scream into the abyss. Alas, they have a lot of young guys playing well this season, and seem to be getting revenge on KC for the last two seasons.
Lefty Anthony Kay starts today for them. Kay spent the last two years in Japan, and is having a decent season this year, sporting a 4.24 ERA over 76.1 innings. Kay has started twice against KC this season, in total he has gone 11.2 innings, allowing 9 hits, 2 runs, 4 walks and 10 strikeouts.
Here are the White Sox starters behind Kay.
First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. CT and can be watched on Royals.TV. The Royals are off tomorrow before starting a 3-game series at home against Tampa Bay.
