Royals right-hander Michael Waka prepares to face his second start since returning from the injured list yeah hey look if he can fill up that Strike Zone like he did the last time against the Rangers they should be fine although he’s going to have to try to find a way to miss bats Steven Quan to lead off against Michael Waka waka’s onew fist into left Center and Kyle Isbell Glides into the Gap to make the catch one away so a good start for Michael Waka who’s looking for another good start first set hav’t had some up and downs the last six have been solid swinging a Miss strike three Michael Waka dials up 96 for his first K of the night woo man oh man hey look we’re not used to seeing him at that level of that Mark but man he’s putting that by him and you know that Walker being the veteran this game one of four here he wants to set a tone switch hitting third baseman batting left-handed Jose Ramirez having another MVP type season swung on line to left that’s a base hit well you give Jose Ramirez the second chance and he delivers with an opposite field single and he went down and got that ball and shot it in the left for a two- out single in comes a pitch and a change up swung on and miss and down goes Naylor two strikeouts in the inning rightand Ben Lively on the mount Ben’s making his 13th start but he’s been very consistent he’s allowed three or fewer runs in 11 of his first 12 starts and the club is eight four in those starts the onew Bulls side Garcia out looking at a fast ball 90 mph here’s one of the elite players in the game Bobby Whit Jr swung on line drive toward left Quan comes on makes the chin High catch two down for Vinnie pasquantino Swan bounced weekly to First handled by Naylor oh my goodness how about that inning Ben Lively barely worked up a sweat and the Royals are done in the first and we go to the second so a couple of walk this inning for w both Ball Four as were on that fast ball down and in two down two on no score second inning insided hit him how about that the last thing W wanted to do was hit the number nine hitter and have to face Steven Quan so the bases are loaded with two down in the second Inning on the ground left side Whit back in throw the first got him and Michael Waka escapes he strands the base is loaded deor Perez will Le off the second inning Ben Lively made eight pitches to retire the Royals in order in the first salv helps his CA first hit of the game for the Royals okay looking in the middle that’s all you’re looking for that two seam fastball belt High salvi says you know if I got under that a half an inch we’d be up one another runner on first for Michael Massie and he send a little weak Fly ball to Center fires the bat away he was unhappy fooled on the change up as Freeman pulls it down down in Center here’s Nick Lofton bring him up bottom of the zone at the knees for a called strike out all right he’s got two strike outs both of them have been called now Mendez MJ’s average 179 with eight home runs and 40 hits did the left long way he’s there and makes the catch boy here’s Jose Ramirez singled his first time up Fair ball right field Jose on the Run he’s going to try for he’s going Renfro throws good one and Jose is safe now out took the hand off the base rro has a good arm and I knew that Jose was going to challenge him he was originally called safe but the hand must have come off the bag and Whit had it applied and got him and he’s upset with it good throw by Renfro right on the money swung on bounc back to Waka on one hop he’ll jog to First and underhand to Vinnie and that’s that so thanks to the Outfield assist Micha Waka faces only three in the top of the third and no score tough part of the order for Ben Lively the guardian starting pitcher facing Bobby Wht Jr for the Royals he hits another one hard and this time he’s got a hit to show for it lead off single for Bobby wit Jr his 103d hit of the Season yeah 111 that was not hit softly either so he’s on lively let’s hope that some of these other guys can get on him too that’s a hanging breaking ball chapter first Naylor goes to Second there’s one back the first double play nicely turned by Naylor that’s never easy the 363 but he got the job done with a good feed to the second base bag where the shortstop Arius was waiting and he has an absolute Canon swung on ground ball to short Coral by arus fires to First in time for the out side retired we head to the fifth still no score Guardians and Royals Tyler Freeman has a hit to start things off that will bring up Steven Quan he having a magical year swung on bounced off the glove of the first baseman pasquantino and it trickles down the right field line on his way to third is Freeman and he’ll stop right there as the Royals get it in quickly and Quan cruises into second base with a double and now the Guardians have the game’s best scoring opportunity second and third nobody out here in the fifth inning so walk is in a jam two in scoring position nobody out swung on and there’s a highfly ball to Right Center under it is Renfro he makes the catch tagging heading for home and scoring is Freeman as the throw came into third Freeman scores the game’s first run and the Guardians Take the Lead Locka one two hit on the ground Garcia’s there and Ramirez is out okay got himself out perfect CLA goes to third doesn’t get a ton easier we have Josh Naylor comes coming to the plate now he might be 0 for two but he’s got the third most RB in the American League smack to deep left Melendez is back onto the track up against the fence he makes the catch Michael Waka limits the damage second and third nobody out the Guardians only get one run well the Royals have hung their hat on hitting with runners in scoring position all season long o and one the count on the Royals right fielder T to third Ramirez charges Lofton evades the but he’s out of the base path and trip Gibson calls him out and Matt quatero comes right out of the dug out Q has an argument here there’s no doubt about it he didn’t go that far out of the line he just went around the tag Lofton has to go around him in some way right right and okay now that’s a little bit over 3 feet but where’s he supposed to go and H is got ejected and it’s not the first time tonight that trip Gibson’s caused a little bit of ir and so Q’s out of the game and the Royals are out of the inning down one nothing to the sixth so runner at second one out Gabriel Arius comes to the plate he is 0 for two AR smacks one to center field that will get down him is coming around third to have to stop him yeah he couldn’t he didn’t get the read off of it is Bell got off a good throw to the cut off man in the center of the diamond but the Guardians have him at the corners with one out and that result leads to the pitching change five in a third Innings of one-run ball for Michael Waka as it stands now there are runners on first and third with one out and it’s up to Lefty Sam long to keep him from scoring the onew swung out and Miss strike three a huge second out Sam long got exactly what he needed in that spot so the bases are loaded for Steven Quan second time today that Quan’s come to the plate with the bases loaded long delivers got him swinging strike three one of the hardest batters in the game to strike out and long does it to strand The Bases Loaded that’s momentum you get that swinging back in your your Dugout now let’s see if these guys can put the ball in play like they did in the eighth inning yesterday lifted to right schneeman back pedals and it’s over his head might have gotten his glove extra bases for isbel trying for third here’s the relay Ramirez’s tag safe there’s the spark it was a triple yesterday that led to a Royals two out rally maybe the triple does it again tonight punch down the line face Garcia this game is tied at one and Michel Garcia has got extra bases now he wants three and manag his relay now in time RBI triple Michel Garcia and this place is loud and I told you the momentum from that strikeout was huge by long and that’s what you do in this game runner at third one down again the infield in and now Vinnie pasquantino he thrives in situations like this pas Ino gets the job done into Right Center Freeman makes the catch Garcia tags from third the Royals have the lead perfect execution once again well Sam long is going to St on to at least start his second inning of work as Cleveland now Trails Kansas City 2 to one John Kenzie Noel pinch hits for Daniel schneeman came up and made his big league debut on Wednesday right hand batter swings and misses and Strikes Out struck out on a curve ball in the dirt B tip strike three how about that how about that man oh man five batters faced four strikeouts right back to him long bobbles recovers makes the play how about Sam long tonight five straight scoreless appearances for MacArthur one out away from another one out away from a Thursday night
