Watch Yordano Ventura get a scare on the mound — from Drew Butera
How about that effort from Royals starter Yordano Ventura?
In the Royals’ 8-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday at Kauffman Stadium, Ventura allowed three runs on nine hits with one walk and five strikeouts in a complete-game effort.
And he did that despite getting a scare from catcher Drew Butera in the top of the seventh inning. Ventura didn’t know Butera was coming out for a chat, and when Yordano looked up there was Butera.
It definitely startled Ventura and made for a funny moment:
