Let’s play two!
The Royals begin an important four-game series in Cleveland, as they trail the first place Guardians by three games. The two teams will play a doubleheader today, to make up for the postponed game from June 6. Cole Ragans will start for the Royals in Game 1, with Alec Marsh called up as the 27th man for Game 2. The Royals added Carlos Hernández and Daniel Lynch to the bullpen, with Will Smith hitting the Injured List and Angel Zerpa sent down.
