Ryan Bergert has made four starts for the Kansas City Royals since a trade from the San Diego Padres, posting a 1-1 record and a 2.79 ERA across 22 1/3 innings. He scattered two runs and three hits over 5 2/3 innings in Detroit with one walk and five strikeouts, leaving that start with the Royals leading before the bullpen surrendered the advantage. Bergert has allowed just 24 walks in 58 career innings with the Padres and Royals, demonstrating strong command. Salvador Perez praised Bergert's poise and ability despite his youth. The Royals trail Seattle by three games for the final American League wild-card spot, and Chicago experienced a bullpen collapse despite a generally strong rotation.
"Was putting it where I wanted to and was executing,"
"You don't see that in young guys, and he is pretty good," Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez said. "He is showing up as one of the youngest guys we have on the staff."
