Game 90: Twins Continue to Not Help Royals Reach 120 Losses
Dan Szymborski put the Royals chances at reaching 120 losses at a mere 0.3%. This was before that day's game, a game the Royals won. Not-All-Star Lance Lynn surrendered a three-run homer to All-Star Salvador Perez, making it even less likely the Royals tie the Mets.

Awesome all the boys made it out of the cave. Don't have any jokes or anything, just happy to hear some good news.
Minor Details: Games of July 10
A good rehab start for Ervin Santana. A Miracle comeback goes for naught. A good professional debut for Michael Davis. Another big day for Tyler Webb.
Happy Birthday–July 11

Game 89 — Royals at Twins
Nothing fixes a reeling baseball team like a homestand against the 2018 Orioles and Royals as Twins look to add to their 5 game win streak. Aaron Slegers on the mound for the Twins after a nice outing last week. He also pitched decently six weeks ago against the Royals. Ian Kennedy pitching for KC and his 1-8 record reflects pitching for a team already 40 games (!) under .500 on July 10th.
First pitch at 7:10 at Target Field, weather should be nice and clear by that time too.

Minor Details: Games of July 9
Longballs cost the Lookouts. A big inning sinks the Miracle. No clutch hitting for the Kernels. Three pitchers throw a shutout for the E-Twins. The GCL Twins waste a big day for Tyler Webb. The DSL Twins do something the big club can't do--walk off the Yankees!
Happy Birthday–July 10
