Mike Moustakas
hitting #3 in the first inning
.
The #3 hitter in the game, the Royals' only good hitter, Mike Moustakas. The pitch sequence is above. Marco does get behind 3-1 but then what does he throw? That's a 92 MPH jam, perfectly on the black, half the baseball in off the plate and half over it.
That's a bad pitch?!
Are you going to tell Marco, "Never throw 92 MPH on the inside black."
Moustakas crushed it into the power alley, pulled the jam pitch?! for a double. What is going on here?

The #4 hitter in the inning was a strikeout, K.
The #5 hitter in the inning was Marco's one bad pitch, a changeup waist high. It was a line drive right back up the middle, BP style, for a single.
