A win tonight would mean that Kansas City would win their first in division series of 2026 with a potential sweep set up for tomorrow.
Standing in the way of a Royals victory tonight will be their nemesis, Joe Ryan. In 11 career starts against the Royals, Ryan has a 2. 02 ERA, though the Royals did finally get to him last September putting up 5 runs in just 2 innings.
Opposing Ryan will be Noah Cameron for the first start of his sophomore season. He was great as a rookie and will hopefully continue that success this year. With the Royals sitting at 2-2, this is a chance for their first foray into winning record territory.
The teams will do battle with these lineups: Nothing unusual from the Royals lineup for tonight. See you all at 6:40 for first pitch!
