BALTIMORE (AP)—The Kansas City Royals played an entire game without an assist, a rarity in the big leagues.
Far more commonplace is Royals ace Zach Greinke pitching well and not having a win to show for it, which is exactly what occurred for the fifth time this month in Baltimore’s 7-3 victory Wednesday night.
The last team to go a game without an assist was Tampa Bay on May 17, 2003, also in a loss—eight innings in the field—to Baltimore, according to STATS LLC. Only five teams in major league history have done it for at least nine innings in the field.
The Orioles hit only two grounders, both of which were handled by first baseman Billy Butler(notes) before he touched the bag himself.
The sad thing is I didnt even notice that such a rare event happened, as it was a terribly boring game.
