Welcome back to Big Dill Sports, where we dive deep into the latest happenings in the world of baseball. I’m your host, Dillon, and today we’re bringing you a special Royals Recap. Now, let’s talk about that impressive sweep the Kansas City Royals pulled off against the Colorado Rockies on April 24, 2025. Royals fans, you’ve got plenty to smile about!

Let’s kick things off with the first game of the doubleheader—an exciting face-off that saw the Royals come out on top, 7 to 4. Leading the charge was Kyle Isbel, the spark plug for the offense with three RBIs. He was absolutely on fire! Salvador Perez also made significant contributions with two RBIs, while Drew Waters and Michael Massey each chipped in with one. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, as starting pitcher Cole Ragans had to leave the game after just three innings due to some groin tightness. Before exiting, Ragans gave up four runs on just three hits, including two big homers.

But here’s where the story gets good—the Royals’ bullpen absolutely stepped up to secure the win. Angel Zerpa, Steven Cruz, Lucas Erceg, and Carlos Estevez combined for six flawless innings, shutting down the Rockies offense. And with Estevez picking up his sixth save of the season, it was all wrapped up nicely in a bow. As for the Rockies, Hunter Goodman managed to smash a three-run homer, with Jordan Beck adding a solo shot. Still, that wasn’t enough to stop Kansas City’s momentum.

On to Game 2, and the Royals carried that winning energy right back onto the field. Michael Lorenzen was a force to be reckoned with, pitching six innings while allowing just one run on five hits, with an impressive seven strikeouts to boot. Salvador Perez proved once again why he's vital to this team, bringing in three hits and two RBIs. He’s just riding an offensive wave that’s hard to stop. On the Rockies' end, Jordan Beck did his best with two solo homers, showing his power, but ultimately the Royals’ offense had already done the damage.

With these victories, the Royals extended their winning streak to four games, a sure sign that things are clicking for them as the season progresses. It's a perfect setup to talk about our Big Dill of the Day. Today’s honor goes to none other than Salvador Perez! With his consistent performance and crucial contributions in both games, Salvador is showing everyone why he's so important to Kansas City's success. Not just a captain by title, but a certified leader on the diamond.

Now, before we wrap up, let’s touch on Cole Ragans. He’s set to undergo some tests for that groin injury, and we’re hoping for the best. It’s early in the season, and losing him could definitely shake things up a bit.

And there you have it, folks! Another thrilling day of baseball that’ll keep Kansas City buzzing.
