Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Guardians [Game Highlights] 08/27/2024 | MLB Highlights 2024

but last year uh he faced the Royals three times as a rookie he went 1 and0 with a 162 ER he pitched brilliantly 18 strikeouts and a n6 whip so he they need him to get off to a start like that tonight Matt quero starting lineup for Kansas City brought to you by Progressive Michael Massie the DH tonight leading it off and that man right there trouble Bobby defensively for the Guardians brought to you by Rally House it's Quan in left field schneeman is in Center Lane Thomas over and right on the infield Ramirez is the third baseman rokio at Short amena at second Josh Naylor at first and Bo Naylor behind the plate 75 and 57 Kansas City 74 and 58 Minnesota in third place two and a half Gavin Williams big rig on the hill been a rough month of fast ball strike and he's been swinging a good bat though sends a highfly ball to center field Daniel schneeman camping under it and makes the he remains the same person and that's what players need that consistency from their leader and when I visit that's going to go down to The Bitter End but now's not a time to it during the course of the year it's up to the players to respond but Arch how important I know but there's some that aren't and I'm just saying out loud both of these teams are strike out from Gavin Williams on the high fast ball there you go Vinnie pasquantino takes a curve ball nine but this guy has been featers over that stretch that team has been swinging it so well in the month of August and since the allstar break and what a great first inning for Gavin Williams yeah he really mixed his pitches well had him off balance one two three they go on he was acquired from Texas on July 29th and has pitched well in his four starts he's first pitch a fast ball strike yesterday in the double hitter big Chopper up the middle cut off by Wick one down get ahead you know with some fast balls he's tough on left-handed hitter AR I feel like he didn't go popped in the air shallow left out goes D young the third baseman and he'll make the catch throw strikes to get you thinking okay he's going to be around that zone bat right now seven hits in his last 18 at bats he's four there we go Pati six doubles he's played against them well center field is Bill one two three time for the most in Royals history with Frank White he'll lead 6 RBI Knight behind their teammate two three and four and that's the only team with what three 90 RBI guys and he continues to just hit the baseball G by himself sure did three-run home run and a a game Sav and his recent streak isn't 49 games he's batted at a through that fast B the two two slowed it down and he roped his foul 98 got up back into the seats and boy just that but watch he he knows he's got to just try and get a piece of it to stay alive H makes the catch one now yeah a new leas on life signs with Chicago I don't think it's going to hold it it's gone two-run Homer for Paul D young that's number 2 well there's his new lease I'll tell you that he just there's really no pressure on him over there right well it's like he's found something with power because remember he that's his 23rd home run of the year he started to get more his timing mechanism he's figured something out he sure has and I mean there the onew that's hit well Thomas going back makes the catch well yes he let off game two mean what do you have three knocks bouncing ball to Jimenez and he throws him out two run Homer it's off the bottom of the second two nothing Kansas City and the fast ball from Michael Lorenzo and off the plate two and0 three balls no strikes he missed on four straight the lead off swings at the first pitch Yanks it fou come on CH in the dirt there's a line drop Josh Naylor pulls into second base so the first two aboard for Cleveland here in the home half of the second team takes the lo you geared up looking for something you know to hit see everything slowed it down again bouncing ball to first passino to second for one they relay but not in time J went they peel B you could see right after you could see it yeah B Naylor with a one count takes a high fast a weak two weeks good fast ball though usually in the game in the second inning three and one B pops it up foul out of play and B had a good pass but it was just give him a little swinging room oh man he pulled the string on him and struck him out guard it's a city here in the third fast ball strike missed outside two the second base one down first ball swinging Ramirez yeah plenty of room say Ramirez they get spoiled watching Bobby Whit right and he was saying they at least once a series where he just hits the ball so hard people can do what he's doing at his age tell you what big rig's got his number so far tried to hold up he's fine physically other than that no injury tried to hold up but he the bullpen in a pinch and has struck out the first two batters he's got Quan hitting three hit games but Steven he's got to make the adjustment now he's trying to turn on more balls than normal that's why he's hitting some side and use his hands but he's got to keep that inside out just and that was a breaking two down grinding away you keep working hard at it eventually you'll you'll get out of it in this game five hold off by Wht the short stop they go one two three three complete all right
