~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's get us another win today, pitchers news worth noting here.....

Santiago comes in with the disadvantage of not making a start in 13 days after he was skipped over during the last turn of the rotation. He only pitched out of the bullpen once in the interim -- a one-out appearance on Sunday -- but insists he has no issue with the extra rest.

"I've done it a bunch of times. I'm used to it," Santiago said.

Opposite Santiago, the Royals will turn to rookie righty Yordano Ventura, who has gone 3-1 with a 2.67 ERA across his last four starts.

Ventura's last outing against the Mariners was another impressive one -- a seven-inning, two-run affair that saw him register six strikeouts -- but he wound up taking the tough-luck loss on a go-ahead solo shot from Mike Zunino in the seventh inning.

INFTW

In. Let's get a winning streak started.

C'mon Ace

Good inning

Fat Belly!

Rain at the K

Gordon is hopelessly lost at the plate. i think he got hit by a pitch and had a shitty foul out that was lucky to result in a sac fly RBI last night, but outside of that i think he's about 0 for his last 19 or something along those lines.

0-14ish
