As Earl Weaver would have it: Pitching, defence, and two run homer
heading into the All-Star break. It was a kitchen sink approach, requiring pitching, defence, a bloop-and-blast, and a critical miscue in field by the Royals.
Berrios settled in and his curveball looked sharper in the second, but first the Royals did get to him for another run right off the bat. He left an 0-1 fastball up at the zone of the zone and right over the middle of the plate, and Nick Pratto showed why he’s one of the better power hitting prospects in baseball by tomahawking it over the right field bullpen. It was one one of the higher home runs you’ll see, with a launch angle of 43 degrees.
Though his 6th inning was good as he looked all day, that didn’t carry over the 7th for Berrios, who seemed to run out of gas. he got ahead of Ryan O’Hearn, but couldn’t finish him off and walked him. he struck out out Nate Eaton, but Pratto punched a single just over Vladdy for a base hit to end his afternoon.
For their part, the Jays weren’t able to get much going against Royals starter Kris Bubic in this three turns through the order as he went 7 innings, allowing just five hits and issuing no free passes while striking out four.
