Nelson Retires First 16 Royals, Carroll Returns in Diamondbacks' 7-1 Victory
Ryne Nelson retired the first 16 Kansas City batters, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Royals 7–1 on Saturday to end a three-game losing streak. Nelson (5–2), who moved into the rotation full-time when Corbin Burnes was sidelined for the season by elbow surgery, gave up four hits and one run over seven innings. The right-hander threw 86 pitches, walked none, and struck out five. Freddy Fermin's sharp single to center with one out in the sixth ended Nelson's perfect-game bid. Fermin scored on Bobby Witt Jr.'s two-out single. Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suárez had RBI singles in the third off Michael Wacha (4–9), and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled in two runs in the fifth for Arizona. Gurriel also tripled in the seventh off Taylor Clarke and scored on James McCann's double. Wacha lasted four-plus innings, giving up four hits and four runs. He threw 97 pitches, walking four and striking out four. Randal Grichuk hit an inside-the-park homer in the eighth. With a man on base, he hit a long fly to right-center that bounced away from outfielders Jac Caglianone and Kyle Isbel and into center field as Grichuk scored standing up for his fifth homer of the season. Before the game, the Diamondbacks activated outfielder Corbin Carroll from the injured list. The 2023 National League Rookie of the Year, who has 20 homers and a major league-leading nine triples, was 0 for 5 in his return. He had been sidelined since June 18 when he sustained a chip fracture in his left wrist when he was hit by a pitch in Toronto. Utilityman Tim Tawa was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Key moment: Gurriel's two-out, two-run double off reliever John Schreiber made it 4–0 in the fifth. Key stat: Nelson is 3–0 with a 2.01 ERA in his last five starts. Up next: Royals RHP Michael Lorenzen (4–8, 4.95) opposes Diamondbacks RHP Anthony DeSclafani (0–0, 4.82) on Sunday, the series finale.

Yankees star caught on camera issuing blistering threat to MLB rival... what he said left fans stunned
New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. was caught on camera making a blistering threat to a member of the Kansas City Royals, stunning fans with his remarks. Chisholm looked up at Yankees third base coach Luis Rojas after successfully stealing a bag and made the remarks, upset with the was he was attempted to be tagged out. The speedy Chisholm slid head first, beating the tag from Royals infielder Maikel Garcia off a throw from catcher Freddy Fermin. The throw got to Garcia's glove just above Chisholm's head, with the third baseman attempting to make the tag on the Yankee star's helmet. Chisholm's helmet got dislodged and he ran into the shin of Garcia, making the outspoken New York star livid. 'Imma tell you one more time… if he tags me like that one more time, imma smack the f*** outta him,' Chisholm said. Jazz had a few things to say after that stolen base 🤣 — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) June 11, 2025 Here's the tag that had Jazz Chisholm Jr. frustrated. He ended up leaving the game with neck tightness — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) June 11, 2025 Chisholm eventually scored on an Austin Wells hit in the 10-2 blow out of the Royals. Kansas City's roster likely will not take kindly to the comments from Chisholm, as the actions that pissed him off were not outside of MLB's rulebook. Chisholm making the threat at the Royals comes a few days after he trashed talked a member of the Boston Red Sox organization. 'I think there should be more trash talk in baseball!!! Anyone agrees!? Anyway free smoke at 7,' Chisholm posted to X hours playing in Sunday's game. Chisholm promised to bring 'smoke' against Boston after Red Sox rookie pitcher Hunter Dobbins said he'd rather retire than suit up in pinstripes. Unlike last week against New York's arch rivals, Chisholm's words were backed up in a victory.
