The Kansas City Royals delivered a statement win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night, shutting out the home team 4-0 in a game marked by power hitting and resilient pitching After a 57-minute rain delay, Royals starter Kris Bubic returned to the mound unfazed, tossing five scoreless innings and allowing just four hits before the bullpen took over to secure Kansas City’s fourth shutout in their last eight games
Kansas City’s offense came alive with three solo home runs from Cavan Biggio, Kyle Isbel, and Vinnie Pasquantino, while Maikel Garcia added a key RBI single. The Royals, now winners of 10 of their last 1, showcased both their pitching depth and lineup strength, pushing their record further above .500
The Orioles, meanwhile, continued to struggle against left-handed pitching, managing just five hits and seeing their record against southpaws drop to 2-9 on the season. Gunnar Henderson led Baltimore with three hits, but the rest of the lineup failed to capitalize on rare opportunities
The series finale is set for Sunday, with Baltimore’s Kyle Gibson facing Kansas City’s Michael Lorenzen in the last scheduled meeting between these teams this year. Will the Royals keep their momentum rolling, or can the Orioles bounce back at home?
