Cole Ragans continued his recent success with six scoreless innings as the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 12-1 in the first game of a three-game series Monday.
The American League Pitcher of the Month for August, Ragans retired the first 13 batters he faced and finished with just one hit allowed. He struck out seven and didn’t walk anyone. He now has a 21-inning scoreless streak.
Edward Olivares was 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs. Every Royals starter except for Salvador Perez had at least one hit, and Perez had an RBI. "He came out firing right from the get-go," Royals manager Matt Quatraro said of his new ace. "His stuff has been electric. Getting the lead was nice for him to have something to work with. But as far as he’s concerned, it’s more of the same."" just seemed like anytime he made a mistake, they made him pay for it," manager Pedro Grifol said of Scholtens. "I know he didn’t feel that good about his fastball today, so he was heavy breaking ball.
The Royals had hits and runs in each of the first five innings. They got on the board in the first on a home run by Olivares. A double by Michael Massey was followed by a single by Drew Waters in the second. In the third, Perez got a sacrifice fly to the second baseman. Ragans finally gave up his first baserunner when Yoán Moncada dropped a single into short center with one out in the fifth. Ragans then got Lenyn Sosa to hit into a 5-4-3 double play.
