Tapia logged a scoreless inning with one hit allowed and two strikeouts during Sunday's 6-0 win over the White Sox.
The right-hander has yielded just two runs on six hits and 10 walks while striking out 13 in his last 15.1 innings. While the walk rate is concerning, Tapia has been successful at limiting the damage recently. He's pitched to a 2.21 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB through 20.1 innings between Kansas City and Seattle this year. He's added a win and three holds with the Royals, but he's not likely to be in the closer committee despite the decent results.
