Rich Hill
Hill became the oldest player in Kansas City Royals history on Tuesday, and that start marked the 14th team he's pitched for in his career.
He ended up with just one earned run through five innings against the 2nd best team in baseball.
“Being able to get through injuries and continue to put the work in, the time and the effort, is something that’s always been a constant, and a constant reminder when you have setbacks.”
