Royals Pitching Crisis Deepens | Colorado Rockies News

The Royals took another crushing 8-1 loss to the Rockies, exposing deep pitching woes as Seth Lugo—rumored trade bait—struggled through five innings, surrendering five runs while walking five batters. Rookie Aaron Bummer made a disastrous debut, surrendering four runs in one inning with bases loaded, including a three-run homer. The offense barely scratched, scoring just one run on a single by Luke Maile, and only managed two more hits late. Kyle Freeland earned his first career complete game for the Rockies. With Luinder Avila sidelined, Bummer’s stint may be short-lived as Lucas Braun is expected to take his place. Front office decisions loom large before the deadline, especially with Lugo and Michael Wacha still hanging around despite their shaky performances.
