Royals Score Highlights: Guardians Backed by Tanner Bibee Shine on the Mound

Royals Score in Guardians Victory

Tanner Bibee was on the hill for the Guardians last night and pitched like an ace. Brayan Rocchio brought in the team’s 1st run, scoring Will Brennan with a sac fly, and Bibee would not need much more. The Guards added a 2nd run in the top of the 5th, and when the 5th inning ended, 11 Royals in a row had been set down by Bibee.

Guardians Offense Schools KC's Pitching

That streak ended to start the 6th when Thomas Pham doubled for KC’s 2nd hit. This was the start of a major jam for Bibee—bases loaded with nobody out. But he worked out of it while only allowing 1 run to score.

  • In the 7th, Royals reliever Sam Long allowed leadoff hitter Bo Naylor to reach.
  • Then Rocchio tried and failed to bunt the runner over. And you won’t believe what happened next.
  • Rocchio homered to make the game 4-1 Guardians.

Even though half of them have been off of pitchers soon revealed to be injured, Rocchio has 7 home runs this season. Kyle Manzardo reached base in each of his first 3 ABs in this game. KC finally retired him in the top of the 8th, but they allowed 3 runs to his friends to fall down 7-1. The KC pen has been a major weakness in the past week or two, following a brief spell of effectiveness after the trade deadline.
