Here we go Royals here we go!

LFG.

Let's freaking GO!

One more in Baltimore and let’s head to NYC!

Let’s do this.

LMFG!!!

In for another win!

69-0 Royals win!

Orioles starter Zach Eflin had the third-lowest walk rate (3.5%) in the majors among qualified starters. Only Seattle's George Kirby and St. Louis' Miles Mikolas walked a fewer percentage of batters.

That’s okay, we don’t really like walking anyway. Lets get the bats going today and remind the world that them O’s ain’t Royal!

Score moar.

I'm not clear on the timing of the next round. Is there any chance they start Wacha today so if we win Lugo can go game one of the ALDS and potentially start a game 4?

Lugo is starting today.

No. Lugo starts today. If we win, Wacha likely starts game one of the ALDS on Saturday. If we lose and were to win tomorrow, it's likely Singer starts on Saturday. Ideally, it would be Lorenzen, but he's just not built up at this point.

Pretty sure Ragans starts game one of the ALDS of with Lugo going today. Unless their worried about the calf or something.
