Please join us in welcoming to the field, the 29th Royals Hall of Famer, executive vice president and general manager john Shold. And now we invite him to throw out tonight's ceremonial first pitches catching for Gary Royals National Baseball Hall of Famer. Number five, George brett, a legacy that was painted. Kansas City will never be forgotten. Group is 45 to 38 and Alec Marsh is on the mound tonight for the Royals nine a so far on this home stand in 24 and two thirds innings. The Royals rotation has allowed just three total runs, Stephen Kwan the leadoff and try to get this if you can 373 this season. Even to the shallow right? Hunter rents there one up, one down jose ramirez homered off Marsh a year ago. He has 29 career homers and 95 career RBS against the Royals. A swing and a drive to deep right, well over the Royals bullpen and into the seats in right. And it's one nothing Cleveland and now Jose ramirez with 30 career home runs against the Royals. That ball traveled 436 ft before it impaled a seat out in right field and the Royals tonight face Tristan Mackenzie. Second time the Royals have seen Mackenzie this season. You see the walks most in baseball, 46 of them garcia 2, 32 average crossed up the defense but Tyler freeman runs it down in the spacious outfield for out. Number one here is Bobby Witt Jr. They'll be headed to the All Star game this year trying to hold up. Did he go? He went says Laz Diaz 2 to 0 in the air, left field, left center field, Kan calling for it and the inning is over 123 go. The Royals one nothing Guardians after an second hit of the series from David Fry Guardians have their leadoff man aboard here in inning number two. Fry off first athleticism over at first base, believe it, he turned counterclockwise. You don't see that from a lefty. That's a great move right there. Pao showing some nice athleticism and great footwork right there. Big out one to zero Guardians. We go to the bottom of the second and for Salvador Perez as he steps to the eight dozen home runs for Salvi 47 RB is you look for the mistake. Basically, you're looking for him to miss Miss, but didn't that is a Titanic and his game is tied at one 400 48 run for the captain, puts his foot down and you hear the modern day term as a player says on time when that foot goes down, that barrel crosses the dish and a loud noise exploded. Here's the right fielder Hunter Renfroe Renfro season to right down the line toward the corner. Goodbye. Back to back homers, the Royals are in front 2 to 1 home runs are starting to fly out of the park. But that's no strange thing for mckenzie. He's given up several but that to opposite field, that's impressive. Third time the Royals have gone back to back this season, second time on this home stand and now Cleveland has two on one out and Daniel Schieman comes to the plate, he grounded out sharply to Bobby Wood Jr his first time up swing and a miss and he got him with a fastball away 95 miles an hour and Marsh gets his second strikeout, jose Ramirez 30 career home runs against the Royals got him swinging. Strike three. How about 98 from Alec Marsh two on one out and passino coming up 50 RBIs this season, he's got one RB I in each of the four games of his home stand ball hit on the ground and right at base hit garcia rounds third 3 to 1 lead another RB I for Sino five straight games. There's the Sasquatch sighting we've been waiting for, we'll take it early. Did exactly what he wanted to do. Play the run and get to third and now 1st and 3rd for Salvi. Salvi hit a long home run to left, first time up, loop down the left and went to score back to back RB I single and it's 4 to 1 Royals. He just doesn't want to pick up the RBB. Look at the beautiful guiding that ball over the shortstop's head to go down and get that and lift it. That's some skill folks. The bases are loaded for MJ Melendez and that's it for Tristan Mackenzie. only two and a third innings tonight for the third consecutive start. He fails to pitch into the fourth bases loaded one out bottom of the third inning. The Royals lead 4 to 1. MJ Melendez is at the plate. Melendez pokes it left side, can't field it and that means a run Quentin's in and it's 5 to 1 KC. Here's is Bell is struck out looking in the third inning on a fastball against mckenzie Isbell. Swings and it's a fly ball to deep right field back goes Schne and he's at the track and it's gone just over the wall. Kyle Isbell hits a line drive home run to right. The Royals have their third home run of the night and they lead 6 to 1 and we will use the expression every now and Then that the hitter went down to get it well below the strike zone and that's exactly what Isbell did. Marsh has taken up the mantle. This Royals rotation has been so good on his home stand called strike three. Got it. The fastball nice spot. And that's what Marsh is having some success with tonight. Is that fastball? Beautiful. Looked in the two seam movement caught him that dish and roo you got to go swing and a miss and a slider back to back strikeouts to finish a 123. 5th inning for Alec Marsh who's worked five and allowed one and the bases are loaded for freddie Fermin Vermin. 0 to 2. He has hit safely in 12 straight games here at Kauffman Stadium and he hits it high in the air deep to left field. Juan Drifts back. He's got room to make the catch but plenty deep enough for renfroe to tag up and score 7 to 1. Bobby Wood Jr to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs swung online down the right field line moving over Schieman sliding attempt and he made the catch what a grab by Daniel Schieman and the side is retired and somehow Kansas City only scored one run. Another solid start for a Royals starting pitcher, five innings of one run ball for Alec Marsh so far tonight, that's a four pitch walk the second given up by Marsh that will bring up Jose ramirez could be two. There's one quick relay and that's the second time tonight that Marsh has covered a walk for the groundball, double play runners, stay at 2nd and 3rd 1 down that'll bring to the plate Tyler freeman. Slow one hopper to short only plays at first had a buggy whip throw to get him two down and picks up an RB. I as Josh Naylor comes home to score and it's a 7 to 2 ball game runner at third infield back with the one down that will bring to the plate. Daniel Sano for two with a walk smack to center. His bill makes the catch tagging and coming home his hedges and the Guardians get one back to make it seven to three. And now there are two in scoring position who's already got one RB I tonight all the way to the backstop Garcia is coming home. There's the flick tags late wild pitch and it's 8 to 3. Wade moved up to third and now past Quentin launches one to right. Noel is back on the track, it's gone. Passino delivers another blow his ninth home run of the season , his 52nd and 53rd RBIs of the year and it is 10 to 3 and the Royals are one out away poised for 1/4 win in their last five games. Last night. The Royals made a statement with a 2 to 1 win tonight. They make a louder one back to back wins over the Guardians 10 to 3. The final score.
