Royals Win at Tampa Bay, 10-4
The Kansas City Royals stopped the Tampa Bay Rays, 10-4, behind an impressive performance from Trent Grisham. The 23-year old center fielder made life miserable for Tampa Bay pitching. He went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Chris Sale, the winning pitcher, improved to 2-2. He pitched 7.1 innings, giving up 5 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 8 and walking 2. The Rays fall to 13-16 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2020 season.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Sean Murphy to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 4-0. For the game, Murphy had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Winning never gets dull," said Murphy.
