Cole Ragans can only be stopped by cramps.

Anne Rogers writes that Cole Ragans was masterful on Sunday.

If not for a left hamstring cramp that Ragans began to feel throughout his outing and more while facing Austin Hedges in the eighth inning, the Royals’ lefty might have completed his first career complete game. He was that dominant and that efficient, beginning his outing with a six-pitch first inning and ending his day at just 89 pitches.
