Rich Hill has been a staple of Major League Baseball for more than 20 years, and the veteran pitcher isn’t hanging up his cleats just yet. Hill, 45, was called up to the Majors by the Royals on Tuesday to start against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Salvador Perez went yard twice last night as the Royals blitzed the Cubs in Game 1 of the series last night, 12-4. The veteran backstop now has four home runs in his last three games. Carson Kelly collected three hits in the loss for Chicago. Said loss has dropped the Cubs out of first place in the National League's Central division.
Hill, who pitched for the Dodgers from 2016-19, would become the oldest active pitcher in MLB when he appears in a game for the Royals. He turned 45 in March. More to come on this
