White Sox vs. Royals Game Highlights (4/5/24) | MLB Highlights

Tonight. It's game two of a four game series between the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox Royals 143 rotation. Er, a in baseball, his opponent is Brady Singer. This is a guy with terrific stuff. However, the Sox have handled him very well over the course of his career. His last two outings last year really spiked those numbers back to back six run starts against the White Sox and we'll see if the Sox can handle him as they've handled him in the past singer making start number two this year and it is in for the first out of the game with a good eye at the play, draws himself a one out walk. So the White Sox have a runner with one out now, Luis Robert Junior. So the 31 is chopped over the pitcher's head near second base , step on second throw back to first double play. Frazier, second baseman right at the bank. So Brady Singer got exactly what he needed. Look at eric Fetty who goes to the mound for his second start as a member of the White Sox. Last time out, he made it into the fifth inning garcia. Now the pitch swing and a miss he struck him out, got him on a fastball two out of three with a walk run scored and a double last night. Chopper out third, charging will make the play to center field for who hasn't been getting many fastballs lately. But he was ready for that first pitch. Fastball. Salvador Perez stands in well hit center field. Robert is at the wall and he hits the top of the wall and somehow stayed in the ballpark, but the Royals will take a 1 to 0 lead. He tried to put a little wrinkle on a pitch to Salvi and man did he torch I don't know how it stayed in the ballpark. We'll have to show it. This will be a better look here. Oh boy. Yeah. And look, there's a nice little wind. Gavin sheets has been one of the hottest hitters on the team. Take a look at what he's done in the last two games. Gavin sheets, send it back to right and it is long gone. Talk about being locked in Gavin sheets his first home run of the season and we are all tied at one apiece here in the second. Evans had the opportunity with Deloy going down Gavin starting to get it back 1 to 1 tie in the second inning. And now andrew Vaughn, the batter popped up in short right field in comes Renfroe to make the play overall numbers are average against Chicago back to the middle and junior is right there behind second base and Grossman was called up from the minor leagues before the game tonight is out 632 down and a swing and a miss. So singer gets a strikeout would be his first gives up the home run to sheets. We go to the bottom of the second Blazquez homered in the fourth inning last night, got him looking third strike out of the game for Eric Fetty two. Been looking and he didn't like to call a Bill Miller but Miller said it had the inside part of the plate. It's borderline single for Adam Frazier. Here's the payoff to Renfro fourth strikeout of the game for Eric Fetty. Bill Miller tonight has a fairly generous strike zone and that's something that hitters have to be aware of. Takes high and draws a garcia hits first pitch on the ground and Moncada he'll throw to Lopez at second to end the threat after two sox one Royals end the inning a very quick 123 inning for Brady Singer. No runs, no hits, no errors. Nobody left for the White Sox bottom of the third is next Royals and White Sox tied at one. Here's pass, Quintino, the barrel is pointing straight up. There's a flare out in the right center and a sliding catch by Grossman. That'll play really nice read and distance covered by Robbie Grossman and right. Gino thought he had his second hit of the night and Robbie Grossman since donning that white Sox uniform, which has been about an hour or so, maybe an hour and a half. It's a single for Salvador Perez. So he's at first with two outs and now MJ Melendez bats here he is with two outs. Fly ball left field, about five steps makes the head high catch inning over tied at one top of the fourth inning. Brady Singer faces Joan Moncada. Switch hitter batting left moncada grounds it softly straight away second base. Adam Frazier scoops it up midway between 1st and 2nd throws to first and moncada is out one away one pitch. His stroke back on the middle. Frazier back can't stop up the middle a first in time. He got him a nice play and a hot shot by adam Frazier and there are two outs sheets bounces it left side Garcia who was left in the shift scoops it up, spins throws to first on target in time inning over another 123 innings for Brady Singer. His defense on the infield helps him out and he has set down nine in a row since Gavin sheets tied the game with a home run in the second inning of the four seamers. He's using more of them tonight. A swing and a chopper to the right side. Second baseman Frazier is on it. He'll flip to first for the out , make it 10 in a row set down by Brady Singer. After that home run by sheets, he's really locked in. Brady strikes him out and Brady has three. Brady, he piled up 10 strikeouts in his last outing. The fact that he's getting early count ground balls. That's really good swing and a miss and a strikeout and a fastball strikeouts and 12 in a row sent down by Brady Singer. Well, you can tell when Brady Singer is on his game, the sinker slider combo is all about ground balls. I got just two flyouts between his game in Minnesota and tonight versus the White Sox pretty good. Keeping that ball out of the air. The top of the sixth at Kauffman Stadium, Royals and White Sox remain tied at one. The singer is retired 12 consecutive batters. Lopez rolls it toward first pastin lunges to his right gloves. It throws to singer covering in time to get Lopez one away. Slider lifted down the left field line. Melendez sprints over and he runs it down. He makes a chest t grab, running toward the foul line two outs now and in grounds it to the left side went to his right backhand stop plan throw to first a rocket in time to get Benintendi side retired another blink and you might have missed it 123 innings for Brady singer Salvy mj and Velasquez. That one to right is three for three. The second walk of the night for eric Fetty, but that puts runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody out. It brings pedro out of the third base dugout. He's prepared to make a pitch change. Both runners advance and brings up adam Frazier slow roller back to pre he comes home and he got him nice awareness by john Brea to cut off the run at home. We stay t at one but we told you about the fact that he has no speed. That was an awkward throw for John Brea, the little bouncer off the mound right side and Then had to readjust his body to throw home accurately and is coming out of the third base dugout. And so Brey is getting some attention from the training staff probably hurt himself on that awkward throw. He kind of had to contort his upper body. He's actually when he was coming off the mound, he hobbled a little bit coming off the mound. He's just try to throw a couple of warm up pitches and see if everything is ok. John Brey has to leave. We'll see about Salvi if he comes out, remember got a little strawberry on his leg and b things like that won't heal high target, the pitch coming swing and a miss on a high fastball. Wilson strikes out Renfroe to end the threat. The Royals strand two off to the seventh Brady Singer is back on the mound facing Yoan Moncada, a base hit into right center for Moncada that is just their second true baserunner sheets hit a home run in the second inning. But as far as dealing with runners, it's been moncada twice with a walk in the first and now single in the 7th. 1st pitch to Robert hit on the ground to shortstop. Waits, got it slinks to second. There's one relay to first a little high save that might be it for Brady Singer with the Lefty Gavin sheets coming to the plate. The singer's only thrown 72 pitches and he retired 15 straight entering this inning. But that is indeed the end of the line for Brady Singer tonight after six and a third pretty darn good innings. So he walks off the mound to an ovation. John Schreiber comes in the bottom of the eighth inning with a runner in scoring position, breaking the 11 tie up to MJ. The pitch line left field sinking and it's a hit around third throw home is cut off, throw to second is not in time. One of the nicest swings we've seen of the year ninth inning, 2 to 1 Royals and it's up to Will Smith. Close things out moncada down. He goes, here comes robert Luis Robert Jr lines this one to left and it gets down. It will go all the way to the wall. No, no, robert comes up gimpy. And that is not what we want to see. It looks to me like it's probably a hamstring could be a calf. Now, here's the superstar Luis Robert Junior being walked off the field, James Macarthur in a big spot here. Right hander deals and a slow roll of the short went to second for one back to first. It is a double play and with that one pitch, the Royals get two outs and a victory.
