Royals Beat Orioles 4-1, Secure First Series Win

Kris Bubic delivered an impressive performance for the Kansas City Royals, throwing 6 2/3 innings and allowing just one run in a 4-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, marking his second consecutive quality start to open the season. Bubic struck out eight batters and generated 16 whiffs, with his changeup proving particularly effective against the Orioles' lineup. Bobby Witt Jr. was a standout at the plate, recording three hits and falling just a home run shy of the cycle. This victory not only secured the Royals' first series win of the season but also marked a significant turnaround against the Orioles, who had previously dominated the matchup. The Royals showcased strong offensive support early in the game, scoring three runs in the first inning. Bubic's solid start suggests he may be on track for a breakout season after overcoming previous challenges in the bullpen and recovering from surgery.
