The Royals lead the Giants 9-0 at the seventh inning stretch. Yordano Ventura has thrown exactly 100 pitches, but only 58 for strikes. He walked five and struck out four, which isn’t very good, but the Giants only managed three hits off him. The Royals will take the shutout innings, no matter the process.

This is shaping up to be the blow out series. If this score mostly holds up, it will be the fifth game in the series that was decided by five runs or more.

Update: Mike Moustakas homers leading off the bottom of the seventh to increase the Royals lead to 10-0.

Update: Hunter Strickland allowed the home run. That’s six on the season in less than seven innings.
