Game two of four with the Royals. We got a good start out of Kikuchi last night. Hopefully, we’ll get the same from Alek Manoah tonight.
Zack Greinke starts for the Royals. Zack had a tough spring, 7.02 ERA in 16.2 innings, with 18 hits, 3 walks and 16 strikeouts. But he went 5.1 innings in his first start, and allowed 2 earned, with 6 hits, 1 walk and 4 strikeouts.
Kevin Kiermaier gets a day off. Varsho plays center, Kirk catches, Merrifield plays left and Biggio gets in at second.
There was some news today. The Jays picked up Braves outfielder Jordan Luplow off waivers and optioned him to Buffalo. Hyun Jin Ryu goes on the 60-day. Jordan has played six seasons in the majors. He hasn’t hit well, .213/.313/.361 with 45 home runs in 322 games, playing all three spots. I guess he adds to our depth.

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead. He would love to see an email not offering him money to promote a sports betting site. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here.
