Here are more notable aspects of Wednesday’s game:
Marsh exits with injury
The Royals were forced to turn to their bullpen early Wednesday. In the fifth inning, Marsh was removed from the game after being hit by a line drive.
Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger, who was making his MLB debut, hit a comebacker to the mound. The baseball caught Marsh in his right forearm.
Marsh recovered and was able to throw out Barger at first base. Then he began to grimace in pain. The Royals’ training staff came out to check on him as he walked back to the mound. After a few minutes, Marsh was pulled from the game for further evaluation.
The Royals announced that Marsh sustained a right-forearm contusion. Relief pitcher Angel Zerpa came in to finish the inning.
