Steelers receiver Trey Griffey has been asked a million times why he plays football instead of baseball.

The son of Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. and grandson of three-time MLB All-Star Ken Griffey Sr. Trent Brown Jersey , Trey would seem to be destined to play baseball as well. But he says his reason for playing football instead of baseball is simple: He likes it better. And his dad was the first to realize that his son was better suited for trying to make it on his own as an athlete, rather than demanding that he go into the family business.

¡°Everybody has a love for something . . . and I have a love for football,¡± Trey told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. ¡°Me and my dad talked about it and he said, ¡®You have a love for football, and I could see that from a young age. I¡¯ll always support you.¡¯ He was never like, ¡®You have to play baseball.¡¯ He was a father, supporting his son with whatever choice I was making and leading me down the right path.¡±

So far, Trey Griffey hasn¡¯t made his mark in the NFL. He played his college football at Arizona and went undrafted last year, and although he spent time on the rosters of the Colts and Dolphins in the offseason, he was out of the league for the entire 2017 season. In January the Steelers picked him up, however, and now he¡¯s trying to make the roster in Pittsburgh.

Trey Griffey will have to surprise a lot of people to make the Steelers¡¯ roster Authentic Allen Robinson Jersey , but he knows he has a father who¡¯s rooting for him, and urging him to put in the work necessary to make it in the sport he loves.

¡°My dad always told me, ¡®I want to be known as Trey Griffey¡¯s dad. I had my time when I was playing.¡¯ That¡¯s something that, when you hear that from your dad, you¡¯re like, ¡®Wow.¡¯ With his track record, all of the awards and going to the Hall of Fame, for him to say something like that is amazing,¡± Trey Griffey said.

Sounds like Trey has a dad who¡¯s proud of him for following his dream, whether he makes the Steelers or not.

With apologies to Little Orphan Annie, the sun¡¯ll come out today.

Considering the month the Kansas City Royals just went through, and that they¡¯re currently in often-overcast Seattle Bart Starr Jersey , that was no guarantee.

No team in baseball will be happier to flip the calendar than the Royals, who are coming off the worst June in their 50-year history.

¡°I¡¯m ready to turn the page and start over in July,¡± Royals manager Ned Yost told The Kansas City Star. ¡°It¡¯s just kind of a reset. We¡¯re out of there, it¡¯s done; it¡¯s behind us. Let¡¯s go on to July and see what happens.¡±

How bad was June?

The Royals went 5-21, tied for their fewest wins in the month (and that came in 1981, when they went 5-5 as the season was interrupted by a work stoppage).

They scored four or fewer runs in all but two games, including 21 of the past 22, and never won back-to-back games.

Kansas City scored a major league low 58 runs in the month, 29 fewer than runner-up Tampa Bay (87).

They batted .193 (162-for-839), the worst month in franchise history (the 1992 Royals hit .207 in April), and had 10 hits in a game just once.

¡°It¡¯s not frustration,¡± Yost told MLB.com of his club¡¯s rough June. ¡°Well Laken Tomlinson Jersey , that¡¯s a lie. We¡¯re all frustrated. I¡¯ve never seen anything like it. I¡¯ve never seen an offensive drought like we¡¯ve had all month long. It¡¯s pretty puzzling. There¡¯s no answer for it.¡±

One of the few bright spots for the Royals was the performance of rookie right-hander Brad Keller (2-2, 2.25 ERA), who is scheduled to face Mariners left-hander James Paxton (7-2, 3.65) in the series finale Sunday afternoon at Safeco Field.

In his last outing Monday, Keller pitched seven innings, allowed just two hits and struck out six in a 2-0 victory against the Angels, getting his first win as a starter.

The Angels hit just one ball out of the infield against Keller and never got a runner past first base.

¡°It was pretty super-duper,¡± Yost said. ¡°Just banging strikes, on the attack, everything that you want. Just a great pitching performance. Never was in any real trouble and had the game in total control.¡±

Keller became just the second Royals starter to throw at least seven shutout innings while allowing two or fewer hits within his first five major league starts. The other was Mel Stottlemyre Jr. (now the Mariners pitching coach) in 1990.

¡°I was able to keep the ball down, keep them off-balance,¡± Keller said after his last start. ¡°Slider felt really good and made some adjustments in the bullpen prior to this game Ryan Smith Jersey , and it felt really good.¡±

Paxton, who is 2-0 with a 2.54 ERA in five career starts against Kansas City, will be facing the Royals for the second time this season. He didn¡¯t get a decision in a 4-2 Seattle road victory on April 11, allowing two runs on six hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out 10.

Paxton had nearly identical statistics in his last start Tuesday in Baltimore, allowing two runs on six hits in seven innings with one walk and 10 strikeouts in a 3-2 victory.

¡°(Paxton) came right after them, right out of the chute,¡± Mariners manager Scott Servais said. ¡°I thought he was outstanding.¡±
