Royals vs. Rockies Game Highlights (7/5/24) | MLB Highlights

Tonight is Kyle Freeland. Kyle, zero and 37.94 earned run average. Game one of three between the Royals and Rockies ground ball right at Brendan Rodgers. One out here's Bobby Wood Junior hitting 319 on the year. That is a laser beam that's off of Jones glove in left field and Bobby Wood Junior is at second base with one out and they're two gone in the top of the first inning. Brings up Salvador Perez fastball laced down to left field, drops for a base hit n races around third. Jones has a can and he throws to the plate on a hot not in time. Salvador Perez delivers single and the Royals have a 10 lead in the top of the first inning. Let's take a look at the numbers on Reagan's and there's a lot of things that jump off the page and you beyond the record, the record is not pretty, but this guy punches out a lot of guys, 11 Ks per nine and here's Tovar , he'll roll it out to Vinny and gets to the bag in time and Tovaz over his last 13 one pitch one out to begin the bottom of the first inning. And that brings up Brendan Rogers. Here's the pitch. Rogers pops it up shallow right field, Michael Garcia with some long legged strides onto the grass. He makes a two hand catch and Rogers is retired left side and Lofton who is playing way off the line is there. That is a ground out to third and Lofton ended up closer to second base and third base and Cole Reagan has a seven pitch bottom of the first. So Freddie Fermin finds the vast expanse of the Rockies outfield and it's a leadoff single in the top of the second one away. And so that brings up Garrett Hampson and a lot of in the air to and he'll double off freddie Fermin quick inning. It turns out even after the hit by Fermin to begin the inning for Kyle Freeland will go to by the second inning. So back to back innings, Cole Reagan's is needed just one pitch to get the lead off man. Now Brenon Doyle comes to the plate. He might be one of the hottest hitters in baseball right now. Here comes the 12 pitch to Doyle changeup, swung on and missed strike three. Reagan's pulled the string and has his first strike out of the night. Two outs. Jacob Staling steps up center field Hampson knows this ballpark well, he is there and that's six up, six down for Reagans. And after a seven pitch first, he has a nine pitch, second inning muscling it out to right past Quentin inning continues for the Royals first and third, two outs. Here comes the eight time all star Salvatore Perez, four silver sluggers. The MVP for the Royals when they captured the world championship in 2015, got him to chase in the dirt to end the inning well done so Freeland with the second strikeout. He fans Perez with runners at first and third, 7-Up. 7 down so far for Cole Ras and that will bring up Michael. Did he catch enough of it deep left field at the wall, the lead. They pushed it on the for now to tie game and for now it's the 10th home run for Michael to so Kansas City is going to challenge or maybe it was a umpire crew chief review upon review call on the field stands. I get to keep watching and the Rockies have a point on the board. First walk of the ball game, a one out base runner for Kansas City third baseman Nick Lofton freddie goes on first movement and it's grounded to third and it skips by Mcmahon and Freddy will advance to third base. The Royals have runners at 1st and 3rd with one out and now Garrett Hampson who has a chance to put the Royals back out in front and a swing and a ground ball to short over to second and the second baseman can't handle the throw still out at second base but a run does score as freddie comes in to score and the Royals take a 2 to 1 lead issues a lead off walk here to start. The Rockies have the for. So now they've got him at 2nd and 3rd 2 down and the second walk of the inning for Cole and now they're loaded for Nolan Jones 12 swing and a miss, he struck out with a slider down and away Paul Reagans with the bases loaded, gets out of it with his fourth of the night. So he leaves them loaded Royals leading this game two to one and it will be Michael garcia at the top of the order for the Royals line to left field and sinking and that's to the gap. Let us keep on running on his way to third. Here's Tovar relay and it's not in time and the Royals get a leadoff triple in the fifth inning. Wits retired for the first time tonight. Brings up any Patino runner on third, only one out. He got perfectly placed slider. So Kyle Freeland on three pitches, fans passino infield can drop back with two outs to bring up Sal Perez swing and a Miss got him. Kyle Freeland after a leadoff triple slams the door. We go to the bottom of the fifth. That's the third walk allowed by Cole Raan and that will bring up Tovar grounds it to third. Nice play Lofton, a good feed to 543 inning inning, double play. Textbook ready for me. Another single. He's been on base three times. One out knock to left field for him here. So one down the runner at first , nick Lofton, the third baseman. Now the hitter Freeland delivers the pitch is bound up the middle , grabbed by Rogers steps on seconds to, to who throws to first for the double play. And the Rockies turn that double play for six three infield hit for Rodgers. The rock time run aboard for the second time tonight. The leadoff man is aboard and his name is Brendan Rodgers. This gets away for a moment. Is Rogers. Now you got to cash this in second wild pitch by Ras. This will get the runner over at first. They get the out on Mcmahon. The world is going to bring the infield in with one out here leading 2 to 1. It is Elias Diaz at the plate. Diaz loops this to shallow left. It'll get the job done. We have a 2 to 2 game of this hit. Sand wedge worked beautifully excellent. Seventh inning for Kyle Freeland , a 12, 3/7 inning, a great ballgame. 22. We're tied. It's out number one and now Hunter Goodman comes up on the ground deep short Bobby Plants and from the outfield grass throws out Goodman. That ball is deep in the sixth hole. Bobby Witt comes up, fired with that plus arm fires an absolute perfect strike across the diamond. Here is the two and a swing and a miss, he strikes him out with a slider make it eight for Cole Reagan. He goes seven. He allows just two. We go to the eighth. John Schreiber is going to take over here in the eighth inning. He has been on twice start to the eight for Brendan Rodgers and he's going to be lifted for pinch runner, Aaron Shunk. First pitch to Mcmahon fastball lace back up the middle. A base hit into right center field. Shunk flies around second sprints to third. Warren holds him there back to back hits to begin the top of the eighth inning and the Rockies have two in scoring position and nobody out see if the Rockies run for him as well. I'm sure they will, it will be Sam Hilliard. So the bases are loaded and you got the fastest guy on the roster at the plate. Brent Doyle slice him right away. Here is there also bring a whole in the corner. How about that, Brett Doyle? 4 to 2, Colorado. Here we go. Ninth inning. Jalen beats who had a four out save yesterday two on nobody out a storm brewing here in the ninth inning. Now the Royals down to their final out. It's Michael garcia right at the second baseman sets his feet. What a terrific win tonight for the Rockies 4 to 2 in the first of three against the Kansas City Royals.
