KANSAS CITY ROYALS NOTES:
JUST SHORT IN SEATTLE: The Royals lost another close game last night, this one by a 7-5 score to begin a 3-game series in Seattle…the offense jumped on Mariners starter Bryce Miller in their 3-run 2nd inning, which included a go-ahead RBI single by Kyle Isbel, who later hit a 2-run homer in the 7th to make it a 1-run game…with 1 out in the 9th, Isbel drew a walk to reach base for the third time, as the Royals loaded the bases vs. Andrés Muñoz, before Freddy Fermin struck out with the tying run in scoring position…Isbel drove in 3 of the Royals 5 runs as the bottom third of the order went 6-for-10, but the rest of the lineup went 4-for-26.
IZZY ANSWERS THE BELL: Royals center fielder Kyle Isbel had an impressive showing last night, going 2-for3 with a go-ahead RBI single, a 2-run HR and a walk…he also made two impressive catches in the 2nd inning, including one on the warning track in left-center field that had a 5% catch probability, according to Statcast.
Isbel missed 46 games with a hamstring injury in the 1st half, while batting .210 (26-for-124) with a .612 OPS in 37 games…but in 34 games since the All-Star break, he’s batting .286 (32-for-112) with a .737 OPS.
Despite playing in only 71 of the Royals 130 games (54.6%), Isbel ranks tied for 3rd among all center fielders with 11 Defensive Runs Saved, trailing only Daulton Varsho and Kevin Kiermaier (14 each)…his 7 Outs Above Average rank tied for 8th among center fielders on a list that’s led by Seattle’s Julio Rodríguez (12).
REHABBING ROYALS: Brad Keller pitched a scoreless inning with 1 strikeout last night in his 5th appearance on his current rehab assignment and 3rd with Double-A Northwest Arkansas…he began this assignment with 2 outings in the Arizona Complex League and has been on the IL since May 19 with a right shoulder impingement.
The Royals announced yesterday that infielder Nick Pratto and left hander Jake Brentz have been returned—but not reinstated—from their rehab assignments…Pratto was placed on the 10-day IL on July 28 with a left groin strain, and played in 5 rehab games with Triple-A Omaha, most recently on Tuesday… Brentz suffered a strained lat muscle on his rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas…he last pitched in the Majors 16 months ago in April 2022, after which he underwent Tommy John Surgery.
CLOSE CALLS: Last night’s 7-5 loss marked Kansas City’s 11th game in the last 12 that was decided by 2 runs or fewer, including a stretch of 10 consecutive games from Aug. 12-22 that set a franchise record while matching the 2nd-longest such streak in the Majors this season…the Royals are 21-39 (.350) in games decided by 2 runs or fewer, which is the 2nd-worst record in the Majors, ahead of the Padres (19-36)…they are 5-21 in games decided by exactly 2 runs, and their 21 such losses are 4 more than the Padres for the most in the Majors.
The Royals haven’t lost a game decided by more than 2 runs since Aug. 7 at Boston, a 6-2 defeat…they’re 5-11 in 16 games since, despite being outscored by a total of 1 run during that time…it’s the 2nd-longest active streak in the Majors, trailing the Mariners, who’ve gone 33 games without losing by more than 2 runs.
VS. SEATTLE: The Royals are nearing the end of this 9-game, 10-day road trip, which is the last of a trio of three-city trips on their 2023 schedule…after playing 119 games to begin the season without facing the Mariners once, the Royals are playing them seven times over a 14-day span, including a 4-game set last week at Kauffman Stadium, where they lost 3 of 4 games…dating back to last September, each of the last 7 games between the Royals and Mariners have been decided by 2 runs or fewer…last night’s close call clinched the season series loss, marking their fourth in the last five seasons vs. Seattle since 2018, a stretch in which they’re 10-21.
The Royals are 6-17 vs. the American League West this season and have lost all seven completed series.
BOBBY BASEBALL: Bobby Witt Jr. hit his Major League-leading 8th triple of the season last night, as he attempts to become the first Royal to lead the league in three-base hits since Whit Merrifield, Adalberto Mondesi and Hunter Dozier tied for the Majors lead with 10 in 2019…he now has 14 career triples, which are the most by a Royal through two big league seasons, and are the most by any player through two seasons since Eddie Rosario had 17 triples from 2015-16…only three players in Major League history have more triples (16) and home runs (46) through two seasons than Witt Jr.: Wally Berger, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams.
Witt Jr. has homered in seven of the Royals last eight completed series, a stretch that began with his walk-off grand slam vs. Minnesota on July 28…in 25 games since, he ranks among the top 3 in the Majors in total bases (83, 1st), RBI (30, tied for 1st), hits (42, 2nd), extra-base hits (19, 2nd), batting average (.396, 2nd), slugging percentage (.783, 3rd) and OPS (1.222, 3rd)…he also ranks tied for 3rd with 10 home runs—1 behind Pete Alonso and Matt Olson (11)—and ranks tied for 5th with 9 stolen bases.
Bobby is the second player in American League history to record at least 10 home runs, 30 RBI and 9 steals over a 25-game span, following Ken Williams, who did it for the 1922 St. Louis Browns…aside from Williams, only five others—all National League players—have accomplished the feat: Fernando Tatis Jr. in 2021, Ryan Klesko in 2001, Larry Walker in 1997, Barry Bonds in 1996 and Eric Davis in 1987.
Witt Jr. is the fifth shortstop in history to record at least 25 HR and 35 steals in a single season, following Hanley Ramírez (2007-08), Jimmy Rollins (2006-07), A. Rodríguez (1998) and Barry Larkin (1996).
Of his 26 homers, 24 have come as a shortstop, which are 3 more than Jay Bell (1997) for the Royals record and are tied with Francisco Lindor for the most in the Majors this season, 1 ahead of Corey Seager.
Bobby is 4 HR shy of becoming the first player in Royals history with a 30-HR, 30-steal season, and would be the Majors’ first primary shortstop to do it since Florida’s Ramírez had 33 HR and 35 steals in 2008.
He ranks 4th in the Majors with 37 steals behind Ronald Acuña Jr. (58), Esteury Ruiz (49) and Corbin Carroll (39) and his pace of 46 steals would be the most by a Royal since Johnny Damon had 46 in 2000.
Through 130 team games—and with 32 games remaining—Witt Jr. is on pace for 32 homers and 46 stolen bases, a combination that has been matched only three times in Major League history, by Davis in 1987 (37 HR/50 SB), Barry Bonds in 1990 (33 HR/52 SB) and Álex Rodríguez in 1998 (42 HR/46 SB).
Bobby ranks 4th in the American League with 145 hits, trailing Bo Bichette (150), Marcus Semien (147) and Julio Rodríguez (146)…in 72 games since June 1, Witt Jr. leads the American League with 93 hits—2 more than Rodríguez (91)—a stretch in which he’s batting .321 with 16 home runs, 54 RBI and a .932 OPS.
His 13 Outs Above Average rank 2nd among players at all positions, trailing only Dansby Swanson (14).
Witt Jr. ranks 3rd in the American League in fWAR (5.1), trailing Shohei Ohtani (8.7) and Seager (5.2).
THE RUNNING ROYALS: In 39 games since the All-Star break, the Royals lead the Majors with 51 stolen bases (1.3 SB/game), which are 9 more than the Cubs (42), who rank 2nd, and 14 more than the Mariners (37) for the American League lead…after stealing only 40 bags in 56 games through the end of May, the Royals rank 2nd in the Majors and lead the American League with 87 steals in 74 games since June 1…for the season, the Royals rank 4th in the Majors with 127 stolen bases, trailing only Cincinnati (150), Tampa Bay (133) and Arizona (130)
TODAY’S STARTERS: RHP JORDAN LYLES (3-14, 6.20)
JORDAN LYLES is making his 25th start of the season and 239th start (346th appearance) of his career today vs. the Mariners…he was originally selected by Houston in the 1st round (38th overall) of the 2008 Draft out of Hartsville High School (S.C.), and signed a two-year contract with the Royals on Dec. 28, 2022.
LAST TIME OUT: Lyles suffered a 4-3 loss Sunday at Wrigley Field, in which he allowed 4 runs on 5 hits (2 home runs) and 1 walk with 2 strikeouts, while covering all 8.0 innings…he surrendered 2 runs in the 1st inning on an RBI triple from Ian Happ and a sacrifice fly from Cody Bellinger…he retired 11 of the next 12 batters before he yielded a solo homer to Seiya Suzuki in the 5th and retired 10 of the last 12 Cubs he faced, but allowed another solo home run to Miguel Amaya in the 8th frame.
YOU COMPLETE ME: Lyles’ last start marked his 5th career complete game, following Aug. 9 at Boston, May 9 vs. the White Sox, Sept. 21, 2022 vs. Detroit (with Baltimore) and Sept. 30, 2012 at Milwaukee (with Houston)…his 3 complete games this season lead the American League and are tied for most in the Majors with Miami’s Sandy Alcantara…Lyles is the first Royal with 3 complete games in a season since Jeremy Guthrie also had 3 in 2013…his 4 complete games since 2022 rank tied for 3rd in the Majors, trailing Alcantara (9) and Framber Valdez (5).
EIGHT AND OUT: Jordan has pitched 4 games this season in which he has thrown at least 8.0 innings and received a losing decision, and is the lone pitcher in the
Majors with more than 1 such outing…he’s the first pitcher with 4 such games in a season since David Price (4) in 2013, is the first Royal with 4 such games since Jose Rosado (4) in 1999 and is the first Royals right hander since Kevin Appier (4) in 1996.
I GOT 5 ON IT: Lyles has completed at least 5.0 innings in 22 of his 24 starts this season, including each of his last 15 starts, which is the longest such streak by a Royals pitcher since Brad Keller pitched 5.0 innings in 15 consecutive starts from May 7-July 21, 2021…with another 5.0-inning start today, Lyles’ streak would mark the longest by a Royal since Keller had a run of 27 straight starts from July 22, 2018-June 14, 2019…Lyles is one of four AL pitchers with an active streak of at least 15 starts with 5.0 innings, along with Luis Castillo (26), Nathan Eovaldi (19) and Pablo López (17).
TROUBLE WITH THE LONG BALL: He has allowed at least 1 home run in 17 of his 24 starts this season for a total of 30 HR in 139.1 innings, which leads the American League and ranks 2nd most in the Majors behind Lance Lynn (32)…his 30 home runs allowed are the most by a Royal since Jakob Junis (31) in 2019…Lyles has allowed multiple home runs in 10 of his 24 starts, which is the most such games in the Majors.
THE ONE BAD INNING: Lyles avoided the “one bad inning” trend in his last start vs. the Cubs at Wrigley Field, despite allowing 4 runs…he has allowed at least 3 runs in a single frame in 13 of his 24 starts (14 instances)…Lyles has been charged with 54 runs (51 ER) in those 14 frames for a 32.79 ERA, which accounts for more
than half of the 96 earned runs he’s allowed this year…if you set aside those 14 frames, Jordan has recorded a 3.23 ERA in his remaining 125.1 innings.
IRON MAN: The Royals are the eighth club Lyles has pitched for during his 13- year career that has included stops with Houston (2011-13), Colorado (2014-17), San Diego (2017-18), Milwaukee (2018-19), Pittsburgh (2019), Texas (2020-21), Baltimore (2022) and Kansas City (2023)…since the start of the 2021, his 498.1 innings pitched ranks 4th in the AL behind Gerrit Cole (542.1 IP) and José Berríos (516.0 IP)…Lyles’ 86 starts since the start of 2021 ranks 5th among AL pitchers.
During his 13 seasons, he has only been placed on the IL five times: June 10-29, 2019 (left hamstring tightness), March 28-April 4, 2019 (right side discomfort), June 24-July 29, 2018 (right elbow inflammation), June 1-end of season, 2015 (sprained left big toe) and June 5-Aug. 6, 2014 (fractured left hand).
THE EMERALD CITY: Jordan has gone 2-5 with a 6.36 ERA (45 ER in 63.2 IP) in 13 career appearances (11 starts) against the Mariners in his career…he made his last start against them 11 days ago on Aug. 15 at Kauffman Stadium and did not factor in the decision after he allowed 7 runs (6 ER) on a season-high-tying 9 hits.
DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS: Lyles committed his 1st error since Sept. 22, 2020 2 starts ago on Aug. 15 vs. these Mariners, ending his errorless streak at 87 appearances (84 starts)…he’s made just 13 errors in 1465.2 frames across his 13-year Major League career, and is one of five pitchers since 2021 to have thrown at least 490.0 innings and have 1 error or fewer.
