Baker Excels in 7-2 Kansas City Win
The Kansas City Royals topped the Arizona Diamondbacks by the score of 7-2, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Mark Baker. Baker was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Royals. Kansas City reliever Deivi Garcia picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Tanner Scheppers was saddled with the loss. The Diamondbacks fall to 11-15 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2023 season.

Nander De Sedas hit a 2-run triple off Tanner Scheppers in the top of the eighth, which put the Royals in front, 4-2. De Sedas had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 4.

De Sedas expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
