MLB Note - Kansas City Royals Vargas, Jason

Jul 29, 2017 - 8:19 AM LHP Jason Vargas, trying to shake his July blues, did just that Friday night, turning in a quality start to raise his record to 13-4. He had a 9.45 ERA in his three previous July starts but yielded just one run in six innings Friday in his first Fenway Park outing since 2012. "His changeup was really good," said manager Ned Yost. "So was his breaking ball. (He) spotted his fastball well, but had better life on his secondary pitches tonight. More crisp."
