2023 Game 88: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins

Alec Marsh
vs
Pablo López

March is making his second career MLB start. His first was against the Dodgers and it did not go so well, giving up five runs in four innings. Checking his minor league numbers and while he had decent strikeout (11.4 K/9) and walk (3.9 BB/9) numbers, the ERA was not decent at 5.72 over 245 ⅓ innings, mostly in AA. He's 25 but was drafted in 2019 so lost his first year of MiLB development in 2020. Expect all three true outcomes today as the Twins get a tiny buffer in the "above .500" category.

  1. I know it's the Royals making it like a AAA handicap, but this is the kind of start I want to see from López.

    1. Going into the bottom half of the lineup with 87 pitches so I think he should be allowed to got one more inning.

        1. I can see it going either way. It's his last start in the first half so he'll have over a week of rest before his next start. The Twins are off tomorrow so an extra day off for the bullpen would be nice too.
