The Kansas City Royals will play a new rubber match to close their first series of a 9-game road trip. Seth Lugo gets the start against one of the best teams in the competition and the team with the best home record in all baseball in the Toronto Blue Jays.
The royals come in the game at 55-56 and 3.5 games from the last Wild Card place, but also 5.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox for the first Wild Card place, the royals play on Fenway, Monday to Wednesday in a crucial series.
After melting their way to a 9-3 victory on Friday evening, the Royals attack was suppressed against 41-year-old Max Scherzer yesterday. In a 4-2 loss. Steven Cruz hit the IL with the right shoulder decision, but left hander Daniel Lynch IV is now back from his stint on the IL.
Jonathan India left yesterday’s game after he had hit the left forearm/wrist area. However, he leads today as the designated Slagman. Here is the rest of the Royals -Line -Up for today.
The Toronto Blue Jays have been one of the most popular teams in baseball for the past two months, and that helped them to win the American League East, and connected to the Tigers for the best record in the Al. Legal dealer Chris Bassitt starts today. All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk also returns from the IL and will be 6th today. George Springer stays on the 7-day concussion list after he got into the head earlier this week with a throw.
Here is the rest of the Blue Jays -Line -Up for today’s competition.
The game starts at 12:37 pm Central Time. Hopefully it is a happy flight to Boston for the Royals.
