Seth Lugo carved up a hapless Toronto lineup while the Royals rallied offensively after a slow start to beat the Blue Jays 6-1 this afternoon in Toronto.
The first third of the game flew by in just under 40 minutes, with each team managing just one baserunner through three innings. The Royals looked patient against Chris Bassitt early on, seeing pitches and forcing him to use 20 to get through the first inning. They seemed to abandon that plan after the first though, swinging at everything en route to 1-2-3 innings in the second and third that saw Bassitt throw just 18 total pitches.
