Tim Hill Spoils Solid Start
6 years agoKansas City Royals relief pitcher Tim Hill was called on for the seventh inning on Monday following six shutout frames by teammate Danny Duffy. With KC up 1-0, Hill quickly flooded the bases with runners as he allowed a leadoff double followed by a sharp single that put two men on with no outs. A ground ball from Eddie Rosario pushed the teams into a tie, and Hill was removed so Kevin McCarthy could finish the job and ensure the Royals lost another game. At one time, Hill was considered a possible replacement closer after Kelvin Herrera got dealt, but now carrying an ERA north of 6.00, Hill's lucky to still be in the bigs.
