Josh Staumont Allows Two Runs In Non-Save Opportunity
3 years agoKansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont pitched the eighth inning in the team's 8-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. He yielded a single to Max Stassi, followed by a two-run home run to Taylor Ward. Altogether, he pitched one inning and allowed two hits, no walks and two earned runs while striking out one. Staumont has now made two appearances since returning from the injured list due to a knee injury. His previous outing, on Sunday, was also in a non-save situation. The Royals have lost four straight and haven't provided a save opportunity since Staumont's return. Staumont leads the Royals with five saves on the year and should be seen as the most likely candidate for saves going forward. He should be rostered in just about all fantasy leagues.
