It was a good night for the Royals, who opened the second half of play with a 9-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Kansas City got five runs in the first two innings, with Salvador Perez singling in Whit Merrifield twice. Sandwiched in between those two RBI hits is a two-run single by Nicky Lopez, and an RBI double by Merrifield. They got a sixth run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Merrifield.
It was an especially good night for Whit Merrifield, who went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. He is a star and his trade value keeps increasing. Salvador Perez picked up two run-scoring hits. Andrew Benintendi, Hunter Dozier, Hanser Alberto, and Nicky Lopez all had two hits. The Royals had five doubles on the night.

The Royals blew their third-straight game to Cleveland on Wednesday night, 5-4, as the Indians erased a four-run deficit in the latter innings.
Heading into the night, Kansas City was playing some pretty bad baseball. Over their last five games, the Royals had lost four of them and allowed 40 runs during that span. Things didn’t get any easier for them on Wednesday with Shane Bieber toeing the slab for Cleveland. However, the Royals came out swinging against the dominant right-hander.
In the top of the first, Whit Merrifield led off the game with a single and moved to second on an error. He managed to get to third with one out, but Bieber struck out Carlos Santana and Salvador Perez to end the threat.
