ARLINGTON, Texas — The Royals got off to nice start Monday, even catching a break in the first inning against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park. KC’s Bobby Witt Jr. opened the game with a single, stole second and came around to score on an error.
Little did the Royals know at that point they were in the path of Rangers’ starter Andrew Heaney’s club-record strikeout performance..
Heaney retired the final two batters in the first on strikeouts. He fanned every Royals hitter in the second and third innings and opened the fourth by whiffing Salvador Perez.
