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

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 May 2, 2024 0

In a thrilling midweek matchup, the Kansas City Royals emerged victorious over the Toronto Blue Jays, claiming a 6-1 victory at Rogers Centre. Seth Lugo, the Royals’ starting pitcher, delivered a stellar performance, allowing only one hit through seven innings. His impressive outing included eight strikeouts and two walks, lowering his ERA to a remarkable 1.60.

The Royals’ offense came alive in the sixth inning, breaking the scoreless tie. Kyle Isbel’s double ignited the rally, followed by a sacrifice bunt from Maikel Garcia. Michael Massey’s RBI groundout gave Kansas City the lead, and Vinnie Pasquantino’s double extended the advantage. Salvador Perez’s timely single drove in another run, putting the Royals up 2-0.

Toronto’s lone run came in the seventh inning when Danny Jansen connected for a solo home run off Lugo. However, the Royals responded swiftly in the eighth inning with Massey’s three-run homer off Nate Pearson. Massey’s blast marked his second home run in as many games, giving him four RBIs on the night.

Chris Bassitt, the Blue Jays’ starter, had a solid outing through five innings, but his performance faltered in the sixth. He allowed three runs on four hits in six innings, ultimately taking the loss.

The Royals’ defense also played a crucial role in the victory. Bobby Witt Jr. made a highlight-reel play in the sixth inning, sliding to stop a ground ball and throwing from one knee to retire Bo Bichette.

With this win, the Royals improved their record to 5-2 against the Blue Jays this season. They will next face the Texas Rangers on Friday, with Brady Singer scheduled to start for Kansas City. The Blue Jays, meanwhile, will travel to Washington to take on the Nationals in a three-game series, with Yusei Kikuchi expected to start the opener.

Royals Blank Tigers 8-0, Extend Winning Streak to Four

By April 27, 2024 0

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. Reese Olson, Detroit’s starter, also pitched well, allowing just one run on three hits and three walks in seven innings. However, the Royals’ offense exploded in the ninth inning, scoring seven runs to secure the victory.

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.

Royals Blank White Sox 2-0, Extend Dominance

Royals Blank White Sox 2-0, Extend Dominance

By April 16, 2024 0

In a dominant display, Seth Lugo led the Kansas City Royals to a 2-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Lugo’s seven-inning performance was a masterclass in efficiency, allowing only four singles while striking out four and walking one.

The Royals’ offense was sparked by Vinnie Pasquantino’s solo home run in the fourth inning, a 421-foot blast off White Sox debutant Nick Nastrini. Kyle Isbel added an RBI single in the fifth to extend Kansas City’s lead.

Despite loading the bases with two outs in the fifth, the Royals failed to capitalize on their opportunity, with Bobby Witt Jr. flying out to the center field wall. However, the Royals’ stingy defense and Lugo’s dominance kept the White Sox at bay.

Nastrini, in his major league debut, pitched five innings for Chicago, allowing two runs on three hits. He struck out five and walked two, but the White Sox offense struggled to provide him with any support.

Andrew Benintendi had two of Chicago’s four hits, but the team was shut out for the sixth time in their dismal 2-14 start. The White Sox have scored a league-low 34 runs this season, while the Royals have allowed a league-low 48 runs.

The Royals’ victory marked their fifth straight win over the White Sox this season, improving their record to 11-6. The White Sox, meanwhile, extended their losing streak to five games and remain at the bottom of the American League Central standings.

By April 11, 2024 0

Vinnie Pasquantino’s breakout performance propelled the Kansas City Royals to an emphatic 11-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night, extending their winning streak to six games.

Pasquantino, who had struggled early in the season, exploded with a home run and a career-high five RBIs. He went 3 for 3 with a single, double, and walk, scoring two runs. His two-run double in the third inning ignited a seven-run rally for the Royals.

Kansas City’s offense continued to surge, with multiple innings of seven or more runs in April for the first time since 2000. They scored eight runs in the seventh against the Chicago White Sox on April 4.

Seth Lugo delivered a solid outing for the Royals, allowing two runs and seven hits in six innings. It marked the Royals’ ninth quality start in 12 games, the most in the majors.

The Astros’ Spencer Arrighetti made his big league debut but struggled in his third inning, surrendering seven runs. The Royals batted around in the third, with Pasquantino’s double, Salvador Perez’s single, and MJ Melendez’s walk setting the stage for Nelson Velázquez’s two-run single. Adam Frazier and Hunter Renfroe also drove in runs.

The Astros managed to score a pair of runs in the fourth on Yainer Diaz’s double and José Abreu’s sacrifice fly. However, Pasquantino responded with his first homer of the season in the bottom of the fourth and added another RBI on a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

The Royals added two more runs in the eighth, including an RBI single by Pasquantino.

The Royals’ six-game winning streak is their longest since last September, when they also won six straight. They will aim for a 7-0 homestand in Thursday’s finale against the Astros.
