Royals getting good wood on all these hits.

Four hits so far and only one out. And the out was probably the hardest hit ball.

Walker not fooling anybody and doesn't seem to have much going for him today. All three outs hit to Castellanos in right.

Offense needs to dig in and gets runs to get back in the game.

We have to hope Walker comes out for the second and is able to pitch better.
