🎾 Alfonso and Paz Diaz take doubles match, Tigers fall to Griffons in season finale

SEATTLE (AP) — Julio Rodríguez barely had a chance to pop up from his slide and finish screaming in celebration at second base before getting sent home by a shot off the bat of Jarred Kelenic.

It was a two-pitch sequence of highlights Seattle fans have waited a couple of weeks to see from their young, promising outfielders — with the hope of more to come.

“We’ve been dealing with a lot of things to back to back for a lot of nights now and being able to deliver, both of us, felt really good,” Rodríguez said.

The duo provided all the offense for Seattle on Friday night as Rodríguez lined a bases-loaded, two-run double and Kelenic followed with a two-run triple on the next pitch as the Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1.

Seattle starter Chris Flexen threw seven strong innings and the Mariners relied on one big inning to reach 5-2 on their nine-game homestand.

This night was about Seattle’s young outfield stars coming through with big hits in a key moment.

“There’s been some calls that haven’t been going his way. But I’m trying to help him as best I can and just stay focused, don’t expand the strike zone and he’s doing a really good job of not doing that," Kelenic said of Rodríguez. "You saw, he got a good pitch to hit, up in the zone and put a good swing on it.”

First up was Rodríguez, mired in an early slump of frustrating strikeouts. Rodríguez began the night tied for the league lead with 22 punchouts, but his swing decisions have been praised by Mariners coaches for laying off pitches that appear outside the zone yet have been called strikes.

Rodríguez came through in the fourth. He fouled off a tough 3-2 pitch from starter Brad Keller, then got on top of a 93 mph fastball and lined it to right-center field.

The 21-year-old slid headfirst into second base and screamed into the noise of a home crowd that has anxiously awaited big moments from the touted prospect.

Kelenic, also with his share of bad luck at the plate early on, followed on the next pitch from Keller with a deep shot to right center that Michael A. Taylor couldn’t track down.

The fourth was the only inning Seattle was able to do damage against Keller, but he failed to make it through the fifth due to a growing pitch count. Keller (0-2) allowed six hits and three earned runs. He had given up five hits and two earned runs in his first two starts combined.

“You look at the bats, the broken bats, the swings that they had off, I thought that was some of his best stuff,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said.

Salvador Perez homered in the sixth, his fifth straight game with a homer in Seattle. That was the only run Flexen (1-2) allowed as he pitched seven innings for the first time this season, scattering six hits and striking out five.

Anthony Misiewicz pitched the eighth and Andrés Muñoz threw the ninth for his first save.

Kansas City’s streak of 11 games to begin the season without an error ended when Keller was unable to cleanly field Abraham Toro’s grounder during Seattle’s big fourth inning. Bobby Witt Jr. also had a throwing error in the eighth. The Royals began the night as one of two teams in baseball that hadn’t committed an error along with San Diego. The 11 games to begin the season without a defensive miscue was a new American League record.

Mariners: Seattle had no new addition to its list of positive COVID-19 cases for the second straight day. The Mariners have yet to have any of their players or coaching staff rejoin the team.

Royals: LHP Kris Bubic (0-1, 10.80) will make his third start Saturday. Bubic allowed only one run and two hits in his last start but gave up six walks.

Mariners: RHP Matt Brash (1-1, 3.38) makes his third start for Seattle. Brash picked up his first career win in his last start against Houston throwing 5 1/3 innings and allowing two runs.

⚾TMP splits doubleheader with Abilene

HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State ran its win streak to six games with a 10-2 win in game one of a doubleheader with Newman on Friday at Tiger Stadium. However, the Jets built a five-run lead and held off a late charge by the Tigers to win game two 6-5 to split the doubleheader. FHSU is now 23-24-1 overall and 9-11 in the MIAA, while NU went to 18-26 overall, 9-13 in the MIAA. The six game win streak by the Tigers was the longest in&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1030">Adrian Pilkington</a>'s tenure as head coach at FHSU, which began in 2015. The Tigers had five-game streaks in both 2021 and 2019. The last time FHSU had won six in the row occurred in 2014 when they reeled off six straight in non-conference play early in the season.

Game 1: Fort Hays State 10, Newman 2 Game one remained scoreless until the Tigers put up a big five spot in the third to take a commanding lead. Newman cut the lead to 5-1 with a run in the fourth, but the Tigers added on three in the fifth to push their lead out to 8-1. Newman scored once in the sixth before the Tigers scored twice in the bottom of the inning to force the run rule by a score of 10-2.

All five of Fort Hays State's runs in the third inning came on a two-out rally.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6347">Adysen Burghart</a>&nbsp;had already singled earlier in the inning, but a walk by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6346">Lindsey Kelly</a>&nbsp;and then a wild pitch set up a big run scoring opportunity for the Tigers.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;cashed that opportunity in with a two-RBI single. The Jets allowed the inning to continue when they dropped what would have been the third out of the inning, allowing another Tiger run.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6635">Regan Curry</a>&nbsp;made them pay further with a two-RBI single. In the fifth, Curry notched another RBI on a single and a fielding error by the outfielder allowed a second run to score. Late in the inning, twin sister&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6636">Reese Curry</a>&nbsp;drove in a run on a ground out. After Newman's second run in the top of the sixth,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>&nbsp;each had RBI singles to force the run rule. Both of the runs allowed by FHSU starter&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6352">Savanah Egger</a>&nbsp;were unearned. Both teams committed three errors in the game. Egger scattered five hits and struck out six, moving to 9-10 on the season. Madison Dewitt took the loss for Newman, allowing the first eight runs to the Tigers in 4.0 innings. However, only three of those runs were earned. Janine Gutierrez pitched the final 1.2 innings and allowed two runs (one earned). Game 2: Newman 6, Fort Hays State 5 Newman took an initial 1-0 lead in game two on a solo home run by Lindsay Mayo in the first inning, but the Tigers matched that run in the bottom of the first when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6346">Lindsey Kelly</a>&nbsp;walked,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;doubled, and then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;had an RBI ground out. The Tigers had another good opportunity to score, but could not do any further damage as they were caught stealing to end the threat.

A rash of messy defense by the Tigers allowed a pair of unearned runs to score in the second inning, giving Newman the lead back at 3-1. Then in the third, Newman rallied for three runs all with two outs to run its lead to 6-1. The Tigers had run scoring opportunities in both the third and fourth innings, but could not cash in. They finally broke through in the fifth inning with a four-run rally to get back within a run at 6-5.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6342">Jessica Espinoza</a>&nbsp;triggered the rally with a leadoff single,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6346">Lindsey Kelly</a>&nbsp;was hit by a pitch, and then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;singled to load the bases.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;then drove in a run on a fielder's choice and a throwing error allowed Kelly to come around to score from second as well.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>&nbsp;drew a walk to load the bases again, and then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6339">Sara Breckbill</a>&nbsp;notched an RBI single and an extra run scored on that play as well due to a fielding error by Newman left fielder Mackenzie Anderson. However, Anderson would get redemption just moments later when she bobbled a base hit by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6340">Elise Capra</a>&nbsp;but recovered and made a strong throw to home plate to cut down the Tigers' potential tying run. That would turn out to be the biggest play of the game as the Tigers could not find a way to scratch out runs in the sixth or seventh to tie or win the game. Anderson also had what turned out to be the decisive hit in the game as her RBI single capped the three-run rally by Newman in the third. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6351">Morgan Schmidt</a>&nbsp;took a tough luck loss in her start, going 2.2 innings with six runs allowed. Only four of those runs were earned. She struck out five in her start.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6345">Bailey Carlson</a>&nbsp;entered to keep the Jets scoreless for 2.1 innings, then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6352">Savanah Egger</a>&nbsp;followed with two scoreless innings and a pair of strikeouts to keep giving the Tigers a chance to overcome the deficit. Megan Walz picked up the win in her start that lasted 4.1 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks. She struck out two. Even though the Tigers scored two off Janine Gutierrez in 1.2 innings of game one, she kept the Tigers scoreless in 2.2 innings of relief in game two, allowing just two hits and striking out two. That gave Gutierrez her first save of the season. The Tigers will play their final home doubleheader of the 2022 season at Tiger Stadium on Saturday when they host No. 4 ranked Central Oklahoma at 12 pm. It will be Senior Day, as four Tigers will be recognized for their accomplishments with the program between games. The Bronchos were ranked No. 2 in the country the last time they visited Tiger Stadium and the Tigers took a game off of them in that doubleheader during the 2019 season.&nbsp;&nbsp;

FHSU is now 23-24-1 overall and 9-11 in the MIAA, while NU went to 18-26 overall, 9-13 in the MIAA. The six game win streak by the Tigers was the longest in&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1030">Adrian Pilkington</a>'s tenure as head coach at FHSU, which began in 2015. The Tigers had five-game streaks in both 2021 and 2019. The last time FHSU had won six in the row occurred in 2014 when they reeled off six straight in non-conference play early in the season.<div><iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1255294396&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true"></iframe><div style="font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-814667509" title="Eagle Radio" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Eagle Radio</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-814667509/04-22-22-fhsu-interview" title="Adrian Pilkington Postgame vs, Newman (Apr 22, 2022)" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Adrian Pilkington Postgame vs, Newman (Apr 22, 2022)</a></div></div>Game 1: Fort Hays State 10, Newman 2 Game one remained scoreless until the Tigers put up a big five spot in the third to take a commanding lead.

The Jets allowed the inning to continue when they dropped what would have been the third out of the inning, allowing another Tiger run.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6635">Regan Curry</a>&nbsp;made them pay further with a two-RBI single. In the fifth, Curry notched another RBI on a single and a fielding error by the outfielder allowed a second run to score. Late in the inning, twin sister&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6636">Reese Curry</a>&nbsp;drove in a run on a ground out. After Newman's second run in the top of the sixth,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>&nbsp;each had RBI singles to force the run rule.

However, only three of those runs were earned. Janine Gutierrez pitched the final 1.2 innings and allowed two runs (one earned). Game 2: Newman 6, Fort Hays State 5 Newman took an initial 1-0 lead in game two on a solo home run by Lindsay Mayo in the first inning, but the Tigers matched that run in the bottom of the first when&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6346">Lindsey Kelly</a>&nbsp;walked,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;doubled, and then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;had an RBI ground out.

Then in the third, Newman rallied for three runs all with two outs to run its lead to 6-1. The Tigers had run scoring opportunities in both the third and fourth innings, but could not cash in. They finally broke through in the fifth inning with a four-run rally to get back within a run at 6-5.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6342">Jessica Espinoza</a>&nbsp;triggered the rally with a leadoff single,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6346">Lindsey Kelly</a>&nbsp;was hit by a pitch, and then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6338">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;singled to load the bases.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;then drove in a run on a fielder's choice and a throwing error allowed Kelly to come around to score from second as well.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>&nbsp;drew a walk to load the bases again, and then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6339">Sara Breckbill</a>&nbsp;notched an RBI single and an extra run scored on that play as well due to a fielding error by Newman left fielder Mackenzie Anderson. However, Anderson would get redemption just moments later when she bobbled a base hit by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6340">Elise Capra</a>&nbsp;but recovered and made a strong throw to home plate to cut down the Tigers' potential tying run. That would turn out to be the biggest play of the game as the Tigers could not find a way to scratch out runs in the sixth or seventh to tie or win the game. Anderson also had what turned out to be the decisive hit in the game as her RBI single capped the three-run rally by Newman in the third. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6351">Morgan Schmidt</a>&nbsp;took a tough luck loss in her start, going 2.2 innings with six runs allowed. Only four of those runs were earned. She struck out five in her start.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6345">Bailey Carlson</a>&nbsp;entered to keep the Jets scoreless for 2.1 innings, then&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6352">Savanah Egger</a>&nbsp;followed with two scoreless innings and a pair of strikeouts to keep giving the Tigers a chance to overcome the deficit. Megan Walz picked up the win in her start that lasted 4.1 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks. She struck out two. Even though the Tigers scored two off Janine Gutierrez in 1.2 innings of game one, she kept the Tigers scoreless in 2.2 innings of relief in game two, allowing just two hits and striking out two. That gave Gutierrez her first save of the season. The Tigers will play their final home doubleheader of the 2022 season at Tiger Stadium on Saturday when they host No. 4 ranked Central Oklahoma at 12 pm. It will be Senior Day, as four Tigers will be recognized for their accomplishments with the program between games. The Bronchos were ranked No. 2 in the country the last time they visited Tiger Stadium and the Tigers took a game off of them in that doubleheader during the 2019 season.&nbsp;&nbsp;

⛳ Indians seventh, Monarchs ninth at Dodge City Invitational

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Joe Ryan had just pitched six innings of two-hit ball, helping the Minnesota Twins hold off the Kansas City Royals 1-0 on Thursday, when the California kid spotted a poster of Nolan Ryan hanging in the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium.

After such a dominant performance, it was a fitting backdrop for some postgame interviews.

“I'm just trying to make pitches, get outs,” explained the 25-year-old Ryan, who may not have that other Ryan's blazing fastball but still mixed his own with a brutal slider to shut down Kansas City's revamped lineup.

“I think that's going to give our team the best chance to win a game.”

Miguel Sano's sacrifice fly off Zack Grienke in the second inning represented the game's only run.

Jhoan Duran and Joe Smith then handed that slimmest of leads to Emilio Pagan, who worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth for the Twins’ first save this season. Their bullpen had blown both previous chances.

Ryan (2-1), who helped the U.S. win the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, allowed only a two-out single to Michael Taylor in the third inning and a triple to Andrew Benintendi in the fourth during his third straight impressive start. He walked one while striking out five, and has now allowed three runs on nine hits over his first 16 innings this season.

“He threw some strikes. He missed some bats. He did what you like to see,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said.

Greinke (0-1) allowed six hits and a walk while striking out five, and Kansas City's bullpen kept the game close the rest of the way, running its scoreless streak to 21 1/3 innings — all to no avail.

“We have to get big hits. That's just commonsense,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said.

Matheny tried to get the sluggish Royals offense going by shifting Nicky Lopez to the top of the order and dropping Whit Merrifield to second ahead of Benintendi and Salvador Perez. None of them had much success against Ryan, though, whose beguiling mix of pitches induced weak contact all afternoon.

Benintendi had the hardest-hit ball, a deep fly that bounced off the right-field wall for a triple. But he was thrown out by center fielder Nick Gordon while trying to score on Perez's shallow fly ball to end the fourth.

The Royals committed another baserunning blunder in the fifth after Bobby Witt Jr. worked out a two-out walk. The club's top prospect was caught leaving early in an attempt to steal second and was thrown out retreating to first.

The Royals, who along with San Diego began the day as the only teams yet to commit an error, nearly had their streak snapped when Adalberto Mondesi was given one for bobbling a difficult grounder by Luis Arraez in the sixth. The official scorer changed the call to a single the next inning.

Twins RHP Jorge Alcala (elbow inflammation) was shut down from throwing after experiencing “something that didn't feel right,” Baldelli said. “We're going to reset him to zero before we try to build him back up again.”

Farm clubs for the Twins (Cedar Rapids Kernels) and Royals (Quad Cities River Bandits) will play August 9 at the “Field of Dreams” movie site near Dyersville, Iowa. That's two days before the Cubs and Reds play in the sequel to last year's game between the Yankees and White Sox. Both of the Class A clubs will wear throwback uniforms.

The Twins and Padres finalized their April 6 trade that sent LHP Taylor Rogers and OF Brent Rooker to San Diego along with $6.6 million cash for Pagan and RHP Chris Paddack. Minnesota also received 19-year-old RHP Brayan Medina on Thursday. ... RHP Jharel Cotton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Saint Paul.

OF Kyle Isbel was optioned to Triple-A Omaha and RHP Ronald Bolanos recalled from the same club in the hopes of getting one of the Royals' top prospects regular work. “He was written into the lineup two different times and the weather got the better of us,” Matheny said. “The thought process was to let him get some game play.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Joe Ryan had just pitched six innings of two-hit ball, helping the Minnesota Twins hold off the Kansas City Royals 1-0 on Thursday, when the California kid spotted a poster of Nolan Ryan hanging in the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium.After such a dominant performance, it was a fitting backdrop for some postgame interviews.“I'm just trying to make pitches, get outs,” explained the 25-year-old Ryan, who may not have that other Ryan's blazing fastball but still mixed his own with a brutal slider to shut down Kansas City's revamped lineup.“I think that's going to give our team the best chance to win a game.”Miguel Sano's sacrifice fly off Zack Grienke in the second inning represented the game's only run.Jhoan Duran and Joe Smith then handed that slimmest of leads to Emilio Pagan, who worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth for the Twins’ first save this season. Their bullpen had blown both previous chances.Ryan (2-1), who helped the U.S. win the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, allowed only a two-out single to Michael Taylor in the third inning and a triple to Andrew Benintendi in the fourth during his third straight impressive start. He walked one while striking out five, and has now allowed three runs on nine hits over his first 16 innings this season.“He threw some strikes. He missed some bats. He did what you like to see,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said.Greinke (0-1) allowed six hits and a walk while striking out five, and Kansas City's bullpen kept the game close the rest of the way, running its scoreless streak to 21 1/3 innings — all to no avail.“We have to get big hits. That's just commonsense,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said.Matheny tried to get the sluggish Royals offense going by shifting Nicky Lopez to the top of the order and dropping Whit Merrifield to second ahead of Benintendi and Salvador Perez. None of them had much success against Ryan, though, whose beguiling mix of pitches induced weak contact all afternoon.Benintendi had the hardest-hit ball, a deep fly that bounced off the right-field wall for a triple. But he was thrown out by center fielder Nick Gordon while trying to score on Perez's shallow fly ball to end the fourth.The Royals committed another baserunning blunder in the fifth after Bobby Witt Jr. worked out a two-out walk. The club's top prospect was caught leaving early in an attempt to steal second and was thrown out retreating to first.The Royals, who along with San Diego began the day as the only teams yet to commit an error, nearly had their streak snapped when Adalberto Mondesi was given one for bobbling a difficult grounder by Luis Arraez in the sixth. The official scorer changed the call to a single the next inning.TRAINER'S ROOMTwins RHP Jorge Alcala (elbow inflammation) was shut down from throwing after experiencing “something that didn't feel right,” Baldelli said. “We're going to reset him to zero before we try to build him back up again.”CLOSE TO HEAVENFarm clubs for the Twins (Cedar Rapids Kernels) and Royals (Quad Cities River Bandits) will play August 9 at the “Field of Dreams” movie site near Dyersville, Iowa. That's two days before the Cubs and Reds play in the sequel to last year's game between the Yankees and White Sox. Both of the Class A clubs will wear throwback uniforms.TWINS MOVESThe Twins and Padres finalized their April 6 trade that sent LHP Taylor Rogers and OF Brent Rooker to San Diego along with $6.6 million cash for Pagan and RHP Chris Paddack. Minnesota also received 19-year-old RHP Brayan Medina on Thursday. ... RHP Jharel Cotton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Saint Paul.ROYALS MOVESOF Kyle Isbel was optioned to Triple-A Omaha and RHP Ronald Bolanos recalled from the same club in the hopes of getting one of the Royals' top prospects regular work. “He was written into the lineup two different times and the weather got the better of us,” Matheny said. “The thought process was to let him get some game play.”UP NEXTRHP Bailey Ober (1-1, 3.27) starts for the Twins in their series opener against the White Sox on Friday night.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Daniel Lynch was pitching so well into the sixth inning Wednesday night that Royals manager Mike Matheny would've left him in the game against Minnesota had the Kansas City offense provided a little more support.

Two runs turned out to be plenty for Matheny's bullpen, though.

Four relievers followed Lynch, each delivering a shutout frame, and the Royals held on for a 2-0 victory over the Twins on a dreary night at Kauffman Stadium that saw fewer than 9,000 fans walk through the gates.

“Just that great mix of pitching, bullpen and defense is everything you could want," Matheny said.

Lynch (1-1) bounced back from a dismal season debut against St. Louis, when he served up three homers to Kansas City's cross-state rival, to win a pitchers' duel against Chris Paddack (0-2) and the equally stout Minnesota bullpen.

Lynch never allowed a runner to reach third, getting plenty of help along the way from one of two big league defenses — the Padres have the other — that have yet to commit an error this season. Collin Snider, Jake Brentz and Josh Staumont got the lead to Scott Barlow, who worked around a single in the ninth for his first save of the season.

“I'd have liked to have had a little bigger lead and just let Daniel keep pitching,” said Matheny, whose bullpen has thrown 17 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. "It's a little easier to swallow when you can watch those guys do what they do."

The Twins have lost four of their last five on a trip through Boston and Kansas City. They also were shut out for the third time this season, matching Arizona for the most in the majors, and have not scored in their last 13 innings.

“We're seeing the ball. We're taking a good amount of walks,” said Twins designated hitter Ryan Jeffers, who went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts. “But when it comes to hits, we're not getting them right now.”

The Royals scored in the first inning when Bobby Witt Jr. grounded into a double play and Whit Merrifield scampered home from third, but nobody else crossed the plate until Kansas City strung together three singles in the fifth.

The last of them, a bunt by Adalberto Mondesi, got through the right side of a drawn-in infield to bring in a run.

Paddack escaped further damage by striking out Cam Gallagher and getting Merrifield to pop into foul territory. He was replaced for the sixth after allowing the game's only two runs on five hits without a walk while striking out four.

Lynch gave up a leadoff single in the sixth before he was done. Along with four hits, he walked one and struck out two.

“Obviously as much as I say I don't want to focus on results, results are reality,” Lynch said. “I just wanted to keep us in the game and give us a chance."

While the young left-hander was excellent, the Kansas City bullpen may have been better. It added four more innings to its impressive scoreless streak, and helped the Royals even their record at 5-5 in yet another close game.

Eight of their first 10 this season have been decided by two runs or fewer.

“The best way to describe the bullpen right now is dominant,” Lynch said. “It's like everyone seems to be pitching well.”

The Royals clinched their first series win through four series this season. It also was their first shutout of the Twins since August 20, 2016. ... Mondesi has not committed an error in his last 71 games at shortstop dating to August 2, 2020, one shy of the franchise record at the position set by teammate Nicky Lopez from May to August of last season. ... Paddack has not walked any of the 39 batters he has faced for Minnesota this season.

Twins: CF Byron Buxton (right knee) did some fielding work away from Kauffman Stadium early Wednesday so he could avoid the slippery natural grass surface. He has so far avoided the injury list. “If we can give someone a day or two or three to see if Buxton is going to come back, we're going to do that,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said.

Royals: C Salvador Perez got another day off from the field after treatment to drain fluid from his eye. He hit two homers as the DH on Tuesday night and had a single Wednesday. “He knows how he feels,” Matheny said.

Twins RHP Joe Ryan (1-0, 2.70 ERA) tries to build on a dynamic debut against Boston, when he allowed one run on five hits over six innings, when he takes the mound for the series finale Thursday. Royals RHP Zack Greinke (0-0, 2.45) tries again for his first win since returning to the club that drafted him two decades ago.
