KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Royals pitcher Brady Singer bounced back from his demotion to the minors with a dominating performance that included a career-high nine strikeouts and a clear statement about his potential place among the organization’s young cadre of arms.
Singer tossed seven scoreless innings, allowed just four hits (all singles) and didn’t walk a soul Tuesday night as he led the Royals to a 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox in the second game of their doubleheader in front of an announced 11,684 (plus 546 dogs) at Kauffman Stadium.
It was the Royals’ first game this season without star catcher Salvador Perez, who went on the 10-day injured list between games of the doubleheader.
