Royals vs. Twins Game Highlights (4/29/23) | MLB Highlights

Big right hander Bailey Ober who is six foot nine. He had just pitched on Sunday against Washington and pitch well and Then was optioned back to triple-a and then called up before the game today with Kenta Maeda going on the injured list Leading off the game for the Royals Bobby hitting 241 for homers 10 driven in And the 2-2 tied him up check swing could not hold back and that's out number one On a fastball up and inside and wick got the bat going really more for protection than contact So two down runner at first base the batter will be Salvador Perez Who's enjoyed great success here ever since he got to the big leagues? And the pitch is dotted away in Perez one after it strikes out swinging and over strikes out two walks one Royals don't score as they leave a man here in a scoreless first inning twins are coming up Kepler Correa and Polanco Minnesota Twins offense is starting to warm up they have hit five home runs in this series nine of their 15 runs have come by way of a home run and Suddenly they are second in the league with 36 home runs so that's a lot to take in for Brad Keller who's trying to recover from Back to back tough starts where walks have been his biggest issue Correa grounds it to Bobby Witt jr. And that is worth two so that erases the leadoff walk two down 367 has hits in all seven games in which he's played this year. He began the year in the injured list with a knee injury Crushed to right field down the line deep in the corner and that ball is going to be In played off the top of the wall Polanco stopped running the throw to second base He's gonna be tagged out by Bobby Witt jr. And for now the inning is over Morocco is out to discuss with the umpires have to think they'll challenge this and this is not a manager's challenge By the way, this would be a crew chief review on any home run That is not a home run That hit on the top ledge where the ledge is and then comes down to the facing of the wall after review No home run And the outstands at second base So key terminology there the twins maintain their challenge a crew chief review, but they got that right Joey entering play today leading the American League in slugging second and OPS One two and a swing and a miss and he strikes him out with a fastball up Brad Keller his first strike out of the day keeps the twins off the board and strength that runner Bobby struck out swinging his first time up as over ran a fastball up and in on the right-handed batter And he gets Bobby Witt jr. On a fastball way up for his third strikeout MJ Melendez fouled out to gallo at first in the first inning And that's a check swing and a strikeout and over gets the Royals one two three in the third with two strikeouts Salvi struck out swinging as over did work him up in the strike zone with his fastball And a swing and a miss that gets away from Jeffers. He's gonna have to track it down gets it And he'll throw it at first to retire Perez at first base on the strikeout Prado's single is last time up. So four hits. It's being called up yesterday And I want to pitch swung on and missed Strikes out back-to-back strikeouts now six strikeouts for Bailey over Brad Keller will face Byron Buxton to start things here in the fourth pitch breaking ball 3-0 and it's a walk Keller Walks Byron Buxton third walk Miranda now two for nine In this series, there's three homers. One of those hits is a home run. Here's the pitch She swings grounds at a deep short and it's off the glove of Bobby Witt into shallow left field That'll be a hit for Miranda and you knew what Bobby was trying to do as he slid towards the baseball tried to backhand it He knew he had to be quick to get it to second base because of the speed of Byron Buxton and now Joey gallo Miller struck him out in the second inning That's a swing and a big strikeout Twins are now old for four with runners in scoring position Jeffers open to change that right now first pitch him put into the backstop They're gonna feel he's gonna throw to third and Byron's gonna be safe at third base Nicky Lopez got there the ball caromed off The backstop the limestone right to Melendez. Here's a big Momentum shifting moment in the fourth inning of a scoreless game That gets away and Buxton will come home the ball rolling into the twins dugout everybody up a base So more control issues for Brad Keller and a wild pitch bringing in the first run of the game Edward Oliveras popped out foul to the first baseman Fly ball right center field it fairly well tracking his Taylor. He'll pull up play it off the wall Oliveras can run into second base He'll pull up with a leadoff double for Kansas City here in the top half of the fifth inning that ball seemed to just carry into right center field Nicky Lopez who lined out to second bases first time up Here's the pitch and a swing and a shot toward the gap and right center That's in for a hit into play at Michael a Taylor Edward Oliveras being waved home here comes the throw home He is safe with a feet first slide and the Royals tie the game a double by Oliveras And an RBI base hit to right center off the bat of Nicky Lopez, and we have a 1-1 game first and second nobody down 2 and 0 on Polanco And now line drive to right field and Prado makes a sliding play Not an easy Backhand play there for the left-handed outfielder. There's Byron open to with a walk and a run Deep to the left field corner Oliveras is over Buxton over the wall in left. No now they're saying the ball is in play Did we have another one Tommy Watkins claiming that ball Was over the wall. I saw it over the wall. There will be another crew chief review. You saw it, right Dick That's a home run Tommy Watkins knows it In the very first inning Polanco had essentially the same ball to right field That hit the corner of the wall and came back onto the field to play This one looked like it was into the flowers and then came back a home run Buxton sixth of the year and the twins are back in front went over three today one for 12 in this series And one for 22 off twins pitching so far this year payoff pitch And that is low ball for the fastball missed and Bobby Witt is on for the first time today Here he goes The pitch is up and it comes in on a bounce and ends up in center field and Bobby got tangled up with Correa Now Michael a Taylor did his part and he charged in from center fields. I don't know Junior could have ended up at third base, but he's in scoring position two down oils down two to one and the right hander Lopez ready to go to work on Salvador Perez the pitch and A swing and a ground ball up the middle in the center field It's a base hit here comes Bobby Witt home to score and Salvi ties the game at two with a base it up The middle is 13th RBI on the year hitter Edward only virus who's got two doubles today, and he's just been on fire Lead off walk and that's how the Royals tied the game in the eighth. It was a Bobby Witt jr. Lead off walk Here is Michael Massey Oh for three today two ground outs and a line out to first third baseman Miranda plays in Time out by whom that is a violation on Duran and ball for three two One they're right on it and the Royals will take it So first and second nobody down the number nine hitter is Nicky Lopez as the pitch and it's down and away gets away from the catcher here comes Oliveras to score and the Royals take a Three to two lead on a wild pitch Massey moves up as well He's a third now three to KC Royals lead for the first time today now Barlow will face left-handed hitting Trevor Larnach who has doubled today one for four.
