The AL Central 4th place 22-31 Royals play at home on Memorial Day against the 31-22 Yankees, who are in 2nd place in the AL East behind the Rays.
I was at the game yesterday and got to see all the good parts. I skipped the bad parts at the end to go home. In my head, they beat the Marinaras 8-3. Yes, Marinaras. That’s what my 8-year-old and 5-year-old called them. Let’s hope today is full of the good parts and none of the bad parts.

The Royals will put up Michael Wacha on the bump to start against Will Warren. Wacha has continued to pitch like himself – just reliable and steady. He’s had four quality starts in a row; in fact, 8 of his 10 starts have been quality starts. He started with four in a row, had two blips, and now has another four in a row. I’m hoping we can count on that today against the Yankees.
Warren’s first full season was last year, and he has followed it up well so far this year. He’s improved the FIP metrics – strikeout rate, walk rate, and home run rate. It’s a good pitching matchup today.
The game starts at 2:40pm US Central. It is a nationally-televised game on ESPN. You can also listen on 96.5 The Fan or the Royals Radio Network.
