Shane Smith surprised, with the help of extra heat hits and back-to-back homers

Shane Smith and Co. close the Royals For the first time this season. The defense was also excellent, supported by bats that jump extra basehits and back-to-back homers.

Smith started the game with a scoreless inning of seven pitch. Chase girl, who hit Leadoff, started with a single. With one out, Edgar Quero Meidroth sent home with an RBI Double.

In order not to be surpassed, Lenyn Sosa also followed with an RBI-Double, making it 2-0 early.

But the double stopped there non-Curtis Mead was the next (and finally in the frame) to hit an RBI-Double to give the good a 3-0 lead.

Smith again had a 1-2-3 inning in the second, but Noah Cameron responded with his own eight-pitch frame. With two out in the top of the third, the Royals were lucky with a girl’s fielding error, and the White Sox got lucky with a basic rule double instead of a homer. Happiness remained after Bobby Witt Jr. Was strenged to strands both runners, but after they were back in order, ran.

Mead hit a single in another quiet fourth inning, and then Korey Lee hit a ball in the stands for a two-run Homer in his return to the Majors. With two from Brooks Baldwin Lee followed with another Homer, making him 6-0.

But Baldwin was not only a Home-Run Hitter tonight, he also set up a defensive clinic, with two of the three outs in order.

Miguel Vargas benefited from a sleepy outfield by sliding in the second on a hit that led in the fifth inning, but was left behind.

Smith ran a batter in the sixth, but ended the inning with a perfect pitch for a ground -out double game. And he came back for the seventh, the deepest he was in his short career, and beat Salvador Pérez with a ball that left his handle at 97 km / h, and only Pitch no. 80 of the night. Not bad for a rule 5 Draft pick.

Again, Vargas hurried in second place for his second double of the night. SOSA ticked a single to send Vargas home, which contributed to the already crooked score.

Tyler Gilbert came in for the eighth and kept Kansas City still. Lee took a two-out walk in the eighth but could not move forward. Witt doubled with two, but Gilbert faltered the last one on a pop-up by Vinnie Pasquantino.
