Tough Day in the Kingdom
Well, Royals fans, it was a tough outing today as our boys faced off against the Baltimore Orioles. Despite the valiant efforts, we saw the final score tipped heavily in their favor, 8-1. From the start, it was clear our bats were struggling to connect. The first few innings flew by without much excitement from our side, and it seemed as if every time we tried to gain some momentum, the Orioles' pitching shut us down.
️Bright Spot for the Royals
The bright spot of the day was definitely Bobby Witt Jr.'s home run in the bottom of the 6th inning, sailing a beauty 399 feet into the left-field seats. It was a sight to see and gave us a spark of hope!
Our man Kyle Isbel also tried to get the offense going with a nice single in the 3rd inning, but runner progress stalled shortly afterward as we struggled to bring them home.Couldn’t Stop the Orioles
Unfortunately, our pitching faced challenges too. The Orioles chipped away at us and by the 6th inning, they were already up 6-0. That inning alone saw them score four runs, which proved insurmountable. Even as Witt Jr. delivered from the plate, we couldn’t regain enough ground against an Orioles team firing on all cylinders. No matter the roster tweaks or mound changes, the Orioles had our number today.Let's regroup, folks. The heart and effort are always there, and it’s only a matter of time until we turn things around.
Keep the faith, Royals Kingdom! Onwards and upwards!
