Josh Staumont Closes Out Game 1 On Friday
4 years agoKansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont closed out the team's 6-2 win over the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader. He pitched the ninth inning, allowing one walk and no hits while recording one strikeout. Staumont has received the last three saves for the Royals, though none of them have come in May as the Royals have been in the midst of a horrendous stretch. The team lost 11 consecutive games before winning Game 1 on Friday. Royals manager Mike Matheny has been tough to trust with his bullpen management, but Staumont clearly appears to be the frontrunner for save opportunities in Kansas City right now. He should be rostered in just about all fantasy leagues.
