1st pitch curve, waist high, outside corner, and he's sitting on it, I guess, because he belts it to the back of the KC bullpen, solo HR makes it 2-0 Royals. Not exactly a hanger, but he was on it.

Grossman gets a FB in the zone up and in, fouls it off.
Gets a very favorable call on a slider about 2-3 inches outside, 0-2
Humps up to 96, misses up and away with a FB, 1-2
Leaves a change just below middle-middle, and Grossman is late and under, pops to Rizzo in foul territory off 1st. Inning over.
Bottom 3, 2-0 Royals.
14 pitches in the 3rd, 53 through 3 for Rodon.
Verdugo, then back to the top for Torres and Soto.

Someone should tell Verdugo what the next spot in the batting order is after you get dropped to 9th.

Torres takes a sinker at the knees, outer 3rd, 0-1
Takes a slider outside, 1-1
Takes another slider further outside, 2-1
Sinker in the middle above the knees, inside outs a liner in front of Renfroe for a single
Have I ever mentioned how much better a hitter Torres is when he goes to right?
Because he is.

I'm pretty sure we mention it just about every time Torres gets in a pull happy slump.

Someone should tell Verdugo what the next spot in the batting order is after you get dropped to 9th. I think that's the message of the Rodriguez call-up. Slider well outside, 1-0 on Soto. Sinker low, inner half, 2-0 Slider outside, Soto barely checks in time. Slider on the corner away, taken, 3-1 Slider at the knees in the middle, Soto takes, and starts to go to 1st, but it was clearly a strike. 3-2 Bad throw over, saved by Gurriel. Slider down and in, taken, Soto walks. 1st and 2nd, 1 out for Judge. |

Soto walks. 2 on for Judge. Would be a nice place for 52.

Judge takes a sinker well low, and a bit outside, 1-0
Please look outside and offspeed if necessary and step in and go Porch?
Perez goes to talk to Singer, Witt joins them.

If Salvador Perez played his career in a city with an actual media presence, he'd be the toast of the town.

Beats him clean with a sinker running to the inside corner, foul tipped, 1-1
Slider on the corner away, and he tried, but was late and under, fouled down the right side, 1-2
Beats him clean with a sinker in the zone up away, and he opens up early and misses inside, instead of stepping and keeping the front shoulder closed, going to right. K, 2 down.
Yanks 0-3 with RISP.

I'm watching MNF on the laptop because DirecTV and Disney can't manage to get along.
