Box Score Kansas City made today’s game interesting a couple of times, but Milwaukee held on for the win. Kyle Harrison turned in another impressive performance and got plenty of run support, propelling the Brewers to their third straight series victory to begin the season. Royals starter Kris Bubic retired Brice Turang and Luis Rengifo […]
The Royals fell behind early and made a couple of pushes to cut the deficit to one run, but couldn’t overcome three and four run deficits, as they dropped the rubber match 8-5 to the Brewers. Kris Bubic got two quick outs to start the game, but a four-pitch walk to William Contreras set the […]
Happy Easter to all who celebrate! The Kansas City Royals have a chance to take the series this afternoon against a really good Brewers ballclub. Early offense propelled the Brewers to a 5-2 win yesterday in game one of the doubleheader, while a big 6th inning led the Royals to an 8-2 victory in the […]
Milwaukee looks to pick up its third straight series win after splitting yesterday’s doubleheader with the Kansas City Royals. On the mound is offseason acquisition Kyle Harrison, who impressed in his first start against the Tampa Bay Rays — tossing five innings with eight strikeouts while allowing just one earned run. Harrison faces a stiffer test today against […]
The day started poorly, but by the time we had finished things were looking a bit brighter. Let’s talk about the afternoon game first. Luinder Avila got his first major league start and, at times, you could see why the Royals are still so high on him as a starter. His stuff is electric, especially […]
Box Score The Brewers and Royals played a game with a lot of baserunners but not a lot of action tonight, except for one big inning. The Royals busted the game open with a five-run, two-out rally in the sixth, an inning full of sloppiness on Milwaukee’s part, a Royals inning that felt almost Brewers-y. […]
Let’s play two! After the Brewers won what was ultimately a tense game in the first leg of today’s doubleheader, they’ll take on the Royals a second time after a couple hours off for, presumably, pancakes. Tonight’s pitching matchup was originally scheduled as Milwaukee’s Brandon Sproat versus Kansas City’s Seth Lugo, a 2024 All-Star. But […]
Box Score Garrett Mitchell had five RBIs, including a three-run home run, and Chad Patrick went five scoreless innings as the Brewers defeated the Royals in the first game of today’s doubleheader. Milwaukee roared out to a quick lead in the top of the first courtesy of Mitchell’s second two-run double in as many games. […]
Thankfully, the weather in Kansas City today is cold, windy, yet — unlike last night — sunny. With last night’s series opener postponed due to inclement weather, today’s game was moved up to 1:10 p.m. to accommodate a doubleheader, with the makeup game now set for 6:10 p.m. Chad Patrick, originally scheduled to start last […]
Let’s try this again, shall we? First, here’s what I wrote last night about the expected starters for that game who will both still pitch in today’s first match: In the series opener, the Royals are going to be relying on a rookie making his first MLB start, but not his first MLB appearance. Michael […]
Friday’s game was rained out, to be made up as a doubleheader on Saturday. Anne Rogers has details. Saturday’s originally scheduled game will be moved up to 1:10 p.m. CT, with Friday’s makeup game scheduled for 6:10 p.m. CT. Both games will be available on Royals.TV and Brewers.TV, Friday’s tickets will be honored for the rescheduled game Saturday […]
We have achieved one week of Royals baseball, and the Royals, despite an anemic offense outside of one game, have managed not to lose more than they’ve won. Now comes one of the bigger tests for the team in the early-going as Atlanta was without many of their preferred starters, and the Twins simply don’t […]
UPDATE: Tonight’s game has been postponed due to expected inclement weather. The game will be made up tomorrow, when the Royals and Brewers will play a doubleheader with games at 1:10 and 6:10. Good news for those without Apple TV access; both games tomorrow will be on Brewers TV. The Milwaukee Brewers, coming off a […]
The Royals announced they have officially called up Luinder Avila to start tonight’s game against the Brewers, and have placed left-hander Bailey Falter on the 15-day Injured List with left elbow inflammation retroactive to yesterday. Falter faced six hitters on Wednesday night against the Twins and gave up three hits and two walks. Michael Wacha […]

The Royals are underway — and the early storylines are already taking shape. In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco, joined by Max Rieper, break down the Kansas City Royals’ recent series against the Minnesota Twins and what it reveals about the team’s early-season identity. From bullpen […]
Since forever, the skills that made a good catcher were consistent: the ability to control the run game, the ability to manage a pitching staff, the ability to block pitches, the ability to call a good game. But then the sabermetric revolution happened, a revolution that was obsessed with measurable metrics. And around the same […]
Whoopsie! Ballplayers are just like the rest of us. Anne Rogers wrote about Carter Jensen’s scratch before yesterday’s game: “Carter had an oversight,” manager Matt Quatraro said. “Overslept. Wasn’t here on time, and we made the decision to scratch him from the lineup. … He’s a stand-up guy, a really hard worker, a great kid. […]
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are off to a hot start, as they lead the division at 5-1 heading into their first road trip of the season. They’ll visit the Royals this weekend before taking on Caleb Durbin and the Red Sox in Boston to open next week. Feel free to use this […]
Ever oversleep and miss something important? It has happened to the best of us. And today, it happened to Royals rookie Carter Jensen. The 22-year-old catcher was supposed to be in the starting lineup for the series finale Thursday afternoon against the Twins. With Salvador Perez catching in wet conditions last night, typically teams like […]
The Royals will call up Luinder Avila from Omaha to start Friday’s game against the Brewers, according to MLB.com reporter Anne Rogers. Michael Wacha was originally scheduled to start on Friday, but will be pushed back due to illness. Avila was scheduled to start Omaha’s game tonight, but was scratched and replaced by Ethan Bosacker. […]
The Twins got on the board early in this game, but not with the need of bats. In the 2nd inning, after Victor Caratini singled, Kody Clemens singled and moved to 2nd after Caratini tried going 1st to 3rd and was thrown out. Clemens would later score on a throwing error by Salvador Perez in […]
Well, that didn’t go well. The Royals lost the third game of a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins, squandering a fine start by Cole Ragans. For the Royals, quiet bats doomed them. The Royals made things interesting in the later innings. After going down 2-0, Maikel Garcia led off the eighth with a single […]
