Zack Grienke took a beating from his former team on Tuesday, and the Royals lost 9-7. By hitting his third home run in two games, catcher MJ Melendez continued to be on fire.

Looking at Brad Keller’s Baseball Savant profile thus far, it is clear that he has to improve in the second half of the regular season since his whiff % is in the ninth percentile.
