Nelson Velázquez further extended the lead with a solo home run in the 6th inning. On the pitching front, Brady Singer delivered a stellar performance in his first start of the season, pitching seven innings with zero runs allowed and 10 strikeouts. The Royals’ bullpen also excelled by not conceding any hits, contributing to the team’s shutout victory. With this win, the Royals improved their season record to 1-2 and are set to face the Baltimore Orioles next.
