The Kansas City Royals are looking to close out a series win against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Royals have been struggling on the road this season, but they have won two of the first three games in this series. Seth Lugo, today’s starter, has been reliable for the Royals, with a 3-4 record and a 3.69 ERA.
Royals’ Pitching Staff
The Royals have gotten some support from their pitching staff, and Lugo has been a key part of that. He has made 15 starts this season, allowing two or fewer runs in 10 of them. The Rays, on the other hand, have built a reliable pitching staff over the past few years.
Today, the Rays will turn to reliever Casey Legumina to open the game. He has not pitched in this series and has not appeared since June 17, so he should be well-rested. The Royals are looking to win this game, and with Lugo on the mound, they have a good chance.
