Final Lineups
Kansas City Royals @ Baltimore Orioles · Saturday, Jul 11, 2026
Kansas City has several hitters with at least a little history against Kyle Bradish, led by Salvador Perez and Isaac Collins, who are both 2-for-3 with a 1.334 OPS. Jac Caglianone is 1-for-2 in 3 PA with a 2.667 OPS, while Carter Jensen and Bobby Witt Jr. are each 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS. Lane Thomas is hitless in 5 at-bats against Bradish with a 0-for-5 summary and .000 OPS, Michael Massey is 0-for-3 with a .000 OPS, and Vinnie Pasquantino is 0-for-1 in 3 PA with a .667 OPS. Nick Loftin has no MLB history vs Bradish.
Baltimore has very limited familiarity with Noah Cameron. Taylor Ward is 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS, while Pete Alonso is hitless in 1 at-bat over 3 PA, with a 0-for-1 in 3 PA summary and a .667 OPS. Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, Samuel Basallo, Tyler O'Neill, Coby Mayo, Jackson Holliday, and Leody Taveras have no MLB history vs Cameron.
The Royals clearly bring more established batter-versus-pitcher history into this matchup. The Orioles are mostly seeing Cameron for the first time, with only Ward and Alonso owning any prior plate appearances against him.
