(AP) Freddy Peralta is making it difficult for the Milwaukee Brewers to remove him from the rotation. Maybe they won’t. Peralta pitched one-hit ball over seven scoreless innings, Jesus Aguilar hit one of Milwaukee’s three homers and the Brewers beat the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Tuesday night. Peralta (3-0) allowed a leadoff double in the third to Adalberto Mondesi and also a walk in the second. The 22-year-old rookie was perfect otherwise, striking out 10 in his fourth major league start. “He was wonderful,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “The big thing to me, again, was just how he…

(AP) Brad Keller has never given Royals manager Ned Yost a reason to question his confidence. Not when the young right-hander walked into the clubhouse in spring training, freshly acquired from Arizona in the Rule 5 draft. Not when he was thrown into the bullpen after spending most of his career as a starter. And not when Yost moved him back to the rotation in the big leagues. So when Keller stared down the Los Angeles Angels’ potent lineup, and held Mike Trout and Co. to two hits over seven innings, the skipper may have one of the few people…
(AP) Astros manager A.J. Hinch is quite comfortable when Yuli Gurriel is at the plate with runners are in scoring position. Gurriel hit a grand slam in Houston’s eight-run second inning, helping Gerrit Cole and the Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 11-3 on Sunday. “He just has a knack for really putting the barrel on the ball and doing incredibly positive things,” Hinch said. “His balance, his bat-to-ball skills, his bat path: Everything lines up when he can execute his game plan and he doesn’t miss pitches. “He can hit anything anywhere and he usually hits it hard.

(AP) Austin Bibens-Dirkx earned his first victory of the season, shutting down a struggling Kansas City Royals squad that’s wondering when it will get its next win. Bibens-Dirkx pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Rougned Odor homered and the Texas Rangers extended their winning streak to a season-high five games with a 3-2 victory Wednesday night.
