Royals vs. White Sox Game Highlights (7/31/24) | MLB Highlights

Looking for a bounce back last time. He just couldn't spot the fastball. He's on for his ninth start looking for his fourth win. Er, a still below five. Normally the control is pretty good bent, batting average of 194. That's an outstanding number. And so hopefully he'll have it today. Michael garcia leads off for the Royals today. Base hit left field just over Nicky Lopez and garcia is on to begin the game. A leadoff baserunner for the Royals. Bobby Woo Junior steps to the plate, the ground ball to third charging and he will get Bobby Witt Junior by a step is 0 to 1 and barring something miraculous the rest of the way that ends his quest to bat 500 this month , Vinny Pao steps to the plate. This is the situation in which Vinny Pasquin has thrived runner in scoring position with less than two outs and Vinny gets it into right field for RB I number 70 the Royals lead one. Nothing. That's right. It's almost automatic on the 10th pitch. He wins it with an RB I miss seven, like you said, beautiful. Stay right with it. Thorpe on a 10 and Renfroe pops it up back of short, Nicky Lopez will shuffle step to his left and make the catch and now the white Sox bat for the first time. Nicky Lopez leads off miguel Vargas is on deck. Andrew Vaughn in the hole against right hander Brady Singer. He makes his 22nd start of the season. First pitch to Lopez on the ground to second base. Michael Garcia backs up a step fields and throws to first and Lopez is out. Vargas swats it high in the air right center field. Kyle Isbell drifts into the gap from center, he's there to make the catch and Vargas is out too. Got him with a slider. Brady needs only seven pitches for a scoreless first. No, Paul to Young in his first plate appearance as a Royal draws a four pitch walk a runner on first with one out. Here's Freddy for me. Thorpe delivers Fermin smacks it deep in the air. Left center field. Vargas races back. Looks up, it's gone. Freddie Fermin delivers a two run homer into the second row of bleachers in left and the Royals lead 30 in the top of the second inning sixth home run of the season for freddie Fermin. He's the Royals DH, today he just did what? DH singer had an, er, a of over 5.5 last season. So for all pitchers who have thrown at least 100 innings so far this year. Brady singer has the most improved, er, a one sheet. Its a hard roller that's going to get into right center for a base hit Sox have their first base runner swinging a base hit the right line shot played on a hop by the right fielder Renfro Soa is aboard two on nobody out. And now Benintendi, who's the DH today, Benett Teni lines to the right field corner that is a fair ball sheets around third is going to score. Here comes Sosa no relay throw. It is a two run double and the Sox on the board and trailing now by just a run, it's 3 to 2. It's a sack bunt for Senzel moving Benintendi to third with one away. I love it to the count to Fletcher and he shoots this one the other way pen and 10 will walk home and just like that, we got a tie game here in the second inning. So Bobby draws his 32nd walk of the year. Now walks in back to back games for Bobby that is inside in a stolen base without a throw for Bobby Wood Junior. Finally, Junior gets his 24th steal. He's been sitting on 23 for a month or so. Flied to center his first time up as he plays in his 1500 career game today swing and he likes to left field. That's a base hit Bobby coming around third. He'll come home and score the Royals retake the lead it for three KC Salvy drives in his 72nd run of the year. And now it's Gavin Shes who does have two career homers against Brady came in just three out of 23 against him. So he has had a lot of success in 11 day starts this year. Five and 2255. Er, a and there is a called strike three. Got it looking fastball in 92. So that's the first inning pattern. We like that a lot better than the second in a couple of quick fly ball outs. Brady had a seven pitch 123, 1st inning. He had a very quick first two outs in this fourth inning and Nick right shoots one into the left field corner, a fair ball, make the turn and head to second and Melendez will collect it first extra base hit for Nick with the Sox, a two out double for their center field or left hand hitting Dominic Fletcher drove in a run with a base hit to left his first time. Brady from the stretch deals and a swing and a bounce for the second. Nice big hop for Michael garcia , the second baseman today. He'll flip to first and the two out double does not hurt Brady for the Royals. Garcia leads off, delivers Garcia lifts it shallow, left center field. Fletcher raises in but can't get there. It drops for a base hit and Garcia is on with a leadoff single that is back handed at third and that's all that can do with garcia and wit speed and with an infield hit Bobby Wood Junior has a 13 game hitting streak. He also now has 884 career RBIs. That's just too shy of Frank White for fourth most in Royals history rocks it deep to center field. Fletcher races back, reaches out Bobbles can't make the catch hits off his glove twice and Then into the fence and Then on to the dirt garcia takes off from third. He's in to score. He's got an RB I double and the Royals have a 5 to 3 lead. Dominic Fletcher nearly made a terrific racing juggling catch in deep center but he couldn't secure it for Hunter Renfroe. So still two in scoring position with one out. Renfroe skies it deep in the air straight away. Center Fletcher races underneath it. He secures this one and makes the catch with tags up from 30 to score standings. He goes to third on to renfroe has a sacrifice fly and it's 6 to 3 Royals in the top of the fifth inning. Brady Singer gave up that three spot in the second inning is potentially a couple outs away from a quality start and a swing and a Miss and Brady strikes him out for the Royals right hander. That's number four on the day. And of note, he has not walked skies it to shallow center in will come is over toward right center. He'll make the catch the fourth perfect inning on the day for Brady Singer. He has a quality start, at least at this point, Brady Singer has kept his pitch count very much in check at 72 pitches as he works here in the seventh, the three two well hit to right and that'll fall in front of retro. So Benet picking up his second hit today, a shattered bat going to be a tough play for the young and with a bare hand play, he gets Senzel for out number one. That's two that we've seen the young make bare hand. That one was a lot tougher, but I love how he didn't rush in a swing. Popper left side, the third baseman to young, stepping into fouled territory. He'll make the catch Brady trying to keep that run total at three as he works here in the bottom of the seventh inning as the all infield at your Salvador Perez. All part of this meeting on the mound with Brian Sweeney and the pitch and a swing and a bouncer to second play by Garcia. He fires to and another quality start for Brady Singer. Seven innings. Three runs allowed. That's 10 quality starts for Brady Singer. Having a great season. Lucas makes his Royals debut. He arrived in Chicago very early this morning. He landed at two in the morning after the Royals traded for him yesterday. He came over from the Oakland A's. He was traded to the Royals, excited to join a contending team and he begins his Royals career with a strikeout on a fastball at 99 100 over the outside edge. Thanks for playing. Welcome to the Royals and thank you center field and playable. So it's a very successful Royals debut for Lucas Irsay. He caps his month of July with an infield single, his 44th hit of the month and now his 13th multi hit game of the month bats. Now Peralta delivers basin drills it high in the air deep to right field sheets. Just watches it fly. Basin launches a two run homer. The Royals take an 8 to 3 lead in the top of the ninth inning on the ground to second another spin move by Sosa to get the lead runner renfroe but no double play and Frazier scores from third and now Hampson lines it to left field and Vargas may have lost it in the sun at the last moment. That is off of his glove. Melendez is going to hold it third and Hampson will end up at second base Freddie for me and that's base hit number four today. RB I number three. Look at the Firmin saying when you got it going and you're finding holes you got it brings up Andrew Benintendi, the bases empty and two outs and the Royals up 10 to 3 Benintendi strikes out and the historic losing streak has now gone to 17 in a row and Chris B gets the White Sox in order in the ninth inning and the Royals begin the road trip with a three game sweep in Chicago.
