Moves Into 4th on Royals All-Time Ks List 2023 Topps NOW #896

Kansas City Royals pitcher Zack Greinke can still toss some heat from the mound, with the 2009 American League Cy Young Award winner punching out five batters in his 539th career start. With his fourth-inning strikeout of Cleveland Guardians Kole Calhoun, he surpassed Bret Saberhagen for sole possession of fourth on the Royals all-time strikeout list. When replaced by a reliever in the same frame, the fans and family at Kauffman Stadium rose to their feet to give the 20-year veteran a well-deserved ovation.
