The game today was an interesting one; with both Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo on the IL, the Royals bullpen banded together to get the win before heading back to Minnesota to take on the hottest team in baseball.

The Royals’ lineup answered the call Wednesday as KC earned an 8-4 victory to close out a three-game series by the bay. Team captain Salvador Perez led the charge with three hits, including a home run. The bullpen took care of the rest.

The Giants really needed that elite Webb in the rubber match against the Royals ahead of a nine-game, three-city road trip. If his newfound strikeout prowess wasn’t going to show up, his ability to induce weak contact and work late into games would work.

Robbie Ray is thriving. The veteran lefty is 6-0 with 62 strikeouts, a 2.67 ERA, and a 3.21 xERA through his first 10 starts. The San Francisco Giants have won nine of those outings.
