They hit two home runs and just barely missed a third in a game that was a joy to watch. It didn’t start like that though. Both offenses looked off in the first few innings.

The game moved at a blistering pace; I thought for a little bit that the game might be over before my kids’ 8pm bedtime (yes yes that wouldn’t happen, I know). It seemed like every plate appearance was a first/second pitch popup for both teams. I blinked and it was the fourth inning already.

Good thing I did not blink again, as the Royals bats woke up then. I could use some eyedrops now, maybe. Blinking is important.
