Kris Bubic showcased a remarkable performance for the Kansas City Royals, pitching seven shutout innings against the San Francisco Giants, albeit with an official no-hit bid altered due to a scoring change. Bubic maintained control throughout the game, allowing only two hits while striking out five. His demeanor was calm, focusing on attacking hitters rather than the looming no-hitter. This outing brought his era down to an impressive 1.47, the second-lowest for a Royals pitcher in their first ten starts of a season.

In a nostalgic moment, Bubic pitched in front of 30-40 family members and friends at Oracle Park, where he grew up as a Giants fan. His performance was complemented by a two-run homer from Vinnie Pasquantino, which broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning, solidifying the Royals' victory. As Bubic continues to excel in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, his recent form has been eye-catching, allowing just one run over his last four starts.
