The Kansas City Royals have agreed to a two-year extension with right-hander Seth Lugo, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

Kansas City took two of three each from the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland in back-to-back series and are 13-8 in July following an 8-18 month of June. Hill hasn't faced the Braves since 2022, while pitching for Boston, but is 5-0 with a 2.63 ERA in 54 2/3 innings over 11 career games (nine starts) against them.

The Guardians wasted a bases-loaded opportunity in the first inning Sunday against the Royals and it came back to haunt them.

However, the Royals’ talent doesn’t stop there. Starting pitcher Seth Lugo ranks 19th in baseball with a 2.95 ERA and 16th with a 1.09 WHIP across 19 outings, and he got rewarded with a two-year, $46 million contract extension on Sunday, via MLB .com’s Anne Rogers.

Noah Cameron escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first before tossing five innings of three-hit ball, Maikel Garcia homered for the second time in three games, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-1 on Sunday.

There was plenty of speculation that the Kansas City Royals would trade Seth Lugo before the deadline, but the star ace isn't going anywhere this season.
