The Royals entered the game with high expectations but struggled to capitalize on their opportunities.

However, John Schreiber from the bullpen encountered difficulties during his time on the mound. His ERA skyrocketed to 54.0 after allowing two runs in just one inning pitched which ultimately contributed to Kansas City's loss.


The Colorado Rockies managed to leverage their fewer hits more effectively than their counterparts. Victor Vodnik played a crucial role as he clinched victory for his team from the bullpen despite facing challenges earlier in the game.
