A bit of bizarre history in Omaha on Friday. Every now and then, baseball has a funny way of shuffling the deck. No two games are exactly alike—even if the Kansas City Royals' recent skid has fans feeling like each loss is just a repeat of the last. But that volatility, the sheer number of factors that shape every ballgame, creates space for some truly odd endings and unexpected moments. Royals prospect Chandler Champlain found himself at the center of one of those moments on June 13.

The Royals gain an All-Star back. The Kansas City Royals are in a pickle. Well, they’re in Kauffman Stadium this weekend, but fans know what the real pickle is. Despite holding a winning record as May winds down, the Royals are hosting the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers for a three-game set. The two teams are on very different trajectories: Detroit already holds a six-game lead atop the division, while Kansas City lags seven games back in fourth place.
