All you had to do was best the Tigers bullpen, and after overcoming a 3-0 deficit to tie it after 4 innings, the Royals looked primed to sweep their divisional foe.
However, Gage Workman, who literally got recalled this afternoon from AAA hit his first career MLB homer off Nick Mears, it was worth two runs, and the Royals dropped the series finale 6-3. It was another lackluster start for Noah Cameron. He went just 4 innings allowing 5 hits, 3 runs, walking 3 and striking out 4 batters.
It took him 95 pitches to get just 12 outs. John Schreiber threw a scoreless 5th. It’s still scary every time he takes the hill, but he has looked better after a very tough beginning of the season.
Mears gave up a leadoff single ahead of the two-run homer. Daniel Lynch IV finally looked human, struggling in his 2/3 of an inning. He allowed a run on two hits and a walk.
