Kansas City Royals
The Royals split four vs. Cleveland and then took the L on Tuesday night in St. Louis.
Salvador Perez hit his first two home runs of the season (both solo shots) and doubled his hit total on the season in defeat.
Daniel Lynch struck out seven and walked just one over five innings but the Cardinals hit him for nine hits and six runs.
This is just a two game series so the Royals have to win this one to earn a split.
Zack Greinke takes the ball for his second start of the year. He didn’t factor in the decision his first time out against the Guardians, pitching into the sixth and giving up just one run.
The 38-year-old is back where it all started but appears to have less punch-out stuff than he did back when he struck out 242 batters and won the Cy Young with the Royals in 2009.
He struck out just one on Opening Day.
St. Louis Cardinals
Albert Pujols smashed his 680th career home run on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium.
It was his first home run as a Cardinal in over 10 years. You have to go back to 2011 to find the last time he hit a home run in a St. Louis uniform.
Adam Wainwright had been his teammate for several years by then and he’s been with the Cardinals ever since.
The 40-year-old has some milestones of his own on the way. Wednesday will be his 360th career start.
He’s closing in on 2400 innings pitched, which he may reach as early as this month.
He’s also 15 wins shy of 200 for his career after defeating the Pirates on Opening Day.
