Kansas City RoyalsvsBaltimore Orioles
KC 2/BAL 8
Things to say
The Baltimore Orioles beat the Kansas City Royals 8-2 at Camden Yards.
01
opener
Yeah, the O's handled Kansas City, 8-2. Never really felt close. Baltimore's bats just kept the line moving all afternoon.
02
key player
The Orioles' heart of the order did the damage. When they string hits together like that, whoever KC ran out there had nothing.
03
hot take
Honestly, KC at 38-59 is cooked. That's not a bad night, that's a bad season.
04
deep cut
Eight runs and Baltimore's still under .500 at 46-51. Their offense keeps them in it, the pitching's the whole problem.
05
exit
Anyway, I wanna see if the O's can actually put a streak together before the break. We'll see.
The recap
Baltimore handled business at Camden Yards, running Kansas City off the field 8-2 on a getaway day that never felt close. The Orioles put a crooked number on the board early and let the bats do the rest, working good at-bats up and down the order and leaving the yard when it counted.
Kansas City's starter got knocked around before he ever got into his stuff, and once Baltimore's pen slammed the door there was nothing to say. Royals just don't have enough right now, and this one was over by the seventh.
