Seth Lugo’s 12 Strikeouts Lead Royals to Victory Over Angels

By May 13, 2024 0

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Seth Lugo’s dominant performance on the mound and Hunter Renfroe’s timely hit against his former team propelled the Kansas City Royals to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.

Lugo, in his first season with the Royals, showcased his exceptional pitching prowess by striking out a career-high 12 batters over eight impressive innings. He allowed only one run on five hits, continuing his remarkable start to the season. Lugo’s ERA now stands at a stellar 1.66, the best in the American League.

The Royals’ offense provided ample support for Lugo in the fourth inning. Renfroe, who played for the Angels last season, delivered a two-run single with the bases loaded, driving in Nelson Velasquez and Freddie Fermin. Michael Massey added another RBI with a sacrifice bunt, giving Kansas City a 4-0 lead.

The Angels managed to chip away at the deficit in the sixth inning when Willie Calhoun hit an RBI double. Calhoun struck again in the ninth with a solo homer, but it was too little too late for Los Angeles.

Patrick Sandoval, the Angels’ starting pitcher, pitched into the seventh inning but allowed 11 hits and four runs during the Royals’ fourth-inning rally. Sandoval has now lost five of his last seven starts.

The Royals’ victory marked their third in the four-game series against the Angels. Kansas City’s Brady Singer will take the mound in Seattle on Monday for the series opener against the Mariners. The Angels, meanwhile, will host the St. Louis Cardinals in Anaheim on Monday, with Jose Soriano scheduled to start.

By April 28, 2024 0

Detroit’s Tigers rallied from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Saturday night, snapping the Royals’ four-game winning streak. The Tigers’ victory was fueled by a five-run seventh inning, highlighted by Matt Vierling’s three-run homer.

Trailing 3-1, Detroit’s offense came alive in the seventh against Royals reliever Chris Stratton. Jake Rogers drew a walk to start the rally, followed by singles from Riley Greene and Mark Canha, driving in Rogers. Wenceel Perez flew out to the right-field wall, allowing Greene to advance to third, and Kerry Carpenter tied the game with a base hit. After Spencer Torkelson popped out, Vierling launched Stratton’s 1-2 sinker over the left-field fence, giving the Tigers a 6-3 lead.

The Royals attempted a comeback in the ninth inning, scoring twice off Tigers closer Jason Foley. However, Vinnie Pasquatino’s flyout to deep center ended the game, securing the victory for Detroit.

Despite committing four infield errors, the Tigers managed to overcome the Royals’ early lead. Alex Faedo earned the win with two innings of relief, while starter Casey Mize allowed three runs, two earned, in five innings. Royals starter Brady Singer allowed one run in five innings.

The Royals took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning on RBI groundouts from Maikel Garcia and Salvador Perez. They extended their lead to 3-0 in the second inning with Garcia’s RBI single, set up by a pair of Tigers errors.

The Tigers got on the board in the bottom of the second inning when Colt Keith scored on Zach McKinstry’s triple. However, Singer prevented further damage by getting Javier Báez and Rogers to ground out before striking out Greene.

The teams will conclude their weekend series on Sunday with Tigers’ ace LHP Tarik Skubal facing RHP Michael Wacha.

Detroit Tigers’ hopes of snapping their losing streak were dashed on Friday as they fell 8-0 to the Kansas City Royals. Seth Lugo, the Royals’ starting pitcher, delivered a dominant performance, pitching seven scoreless innings while striking out nine batters.

The Tigers’ offense struggled to generate any momentum against Lugo, managing only three singles off the right-hander.

With one out in the third inning, Adam Frazier and Kyle Isbel singled to put runners on first and second. Maikel Garcia then walked to load the bases, setting the stage for Bobby Witt Jr.’s sacrifice fly to center field, giving the Royals a 1-0 lead.

In the bottom of the third, the Tigers thought they had taken the lead when Parker Meadows hit a deep drive to right field. However, Frazier made a spectacular over-the-fence catch to rob Meadows of a home run and double Javier Báez off first base.

The Royals continued to threaten in the eighth inning, loading the bases with two outs against former teammate John Schreiber. However, Schreiber struck out Spencer Torkelson to end the inning.

In the ninth inning, the Royals’ offense finally broke through. With one out, Frazier and Isbel singled off Tyler Holton. Garcia then walked to load the bases, and Holton hit Frazier and Isbel with consecutive pitches to make it 3-0. Will Vest replaced Holton on the mound, but he was greeted by a two-run single from Garcia. Witt followed with a triple, and Vinnie Pasquantino’s sacrifice fly capped the scoring at 8-0.

The Royals’ victory extended their winning streak to four games, while the Tigers’ losing streak reached five. The two teams will face off again on Saturday evening, with Casey Mize scheduled to start for Detroit and Brady Singer taking the mound for Kansas City.
