KANSAS CITY, Mo. Matt Harvey ended his nine-game losing skid with his best performance in years, pitching six crisp innings and sending the Baltimore Orioles over the Kansas City Royals 5-0 Sunday.
Harvey (4-10) had been winless in 12 starts since his previous victory on May 1. The former All-Star allowed just three singles, walked one and struck out two against his former team.

Welp, for all of the optimistic folk out there that thought “the Royals are going to turn it around after the break because they start with the Orioles” I’m sorry that you got your hopes up because these last two days did anything but bring positivity and optimism to the Royals faithful.
Old friend (in more than one way) Matt Harvey got the start for Baltimore and dominated the Royals all day by efficiently attacking the zone and using the breeze blowing into the hitters face to get lots of flyouts.

It was a good night for the Royals, who opened the second half of play with a 9-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Kansas City got five runs in the first two innings, with Salvador Perez singling in Whit Merrifield twice. Sandwiched in between those two RBI hits is a two-run single by Nicky Lopez, and an RBI double by Merrifield. They got a sixth run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Merrifield.
It was an especially good night for Whit Merrifield, who went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. He is a star and his trade value keeps increasing. Salvador Perez picked up two run-scoring hits. Andrew Benintendi, Hunter Dozier, Hanser Alberto, and Nicky Lopez all had two hits. The Royals had five doubles on the night.
