John Rave hits bases-clearing double in 7-run 8th and Royals beat Athletics 9-7

John Rave hit a tiebreaking, bases-clearing double during a seven-run eighth inning, and the Kansas City Royals rallied past the Athletics 9-7

Seth Lugo - No-decision in loss Lugo did not determine the decision in Wednesday's 9-7 win against the Athletics, giving up five runs on nine hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out three.
Impact Lugo was plagued by a rough three-run fifth inning in Wednesday's game where the Athletic's had five hits, but he allowed only four base runners the rest of his start. The 36-year-old now has now pitched 14 straight innings without giving up a walk, but there has been 12 runs given up in that stretch. The right-hander will support a 4.71 ERA and 1.38 WHIP into next week's start in Toronto.

Jeffrey Springs - No-decision in return Springs pitched 5.2 innings allowing two runs on five hits and three walks and had a no-decision in the 9-7 loss to the Royals on Wednesday. He struck out one.
Impact Springs spent the minimum amount of days on the 15-day injured list for right hip discomfort and returned Wednesday with a solid 85-pitch effort. The left-hander surprisingly tossed his longest outing since May 22, even coming off the injury, but failed to break his 11-game losing streak. The 33-year-old is slated to pitch next week against Minnesota.

Jac Caglianone - Lifted with sore ankle Caglianone was removed from Wednesday's game against the Athletics with right ankle soreness.
Impact Caglianone was hit in the ribs by a pitch in the third inning, but his ankle turned out to be the reason for his removal in the fifth. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old's injury will be enough to keep him out of Thursday's series finale, but the Royals may provide more information in the near future. John Rave would be next in line to start in right field if Caglianone has to sit.
