Overview
- The series begins Friday at T-Mobile Park with Kansas City left-hander Cole Ragans facing Seattle right-hander Bryan Woo on an Apple TV exclusive broadcast.
- Ragans arrives off a six-inning, one-run start with 11 strikeouts and no walks, a strong turn after an April 8 thumb hit that preceded command issues.
- Woo looks to bounce back after giving up four home runs and seven earned runs in three innings in his most recent outing at St. Louis.
- Seattle comes home from a 5-1 swing through St. Louis and Minnesota, driven by 22-year-old Cole Young’s late-inning run production and a bullpen ranked third in ERA.
- Kansas City ended April at 12-19 and has struggled away from home at 3-12 with 2.6 runs per road game, putting a premium on converting scoring chances.
