It was another tough day of Royals baseball. They were promptly swept for the third time in their last four series. They have lost 6 straight and 16 of their last 19. They are one of the worst teams in all of baseball.
A 4-run first inning, all with two outs, doomed Michael Wacha and the Royals. He allowed 2 more runs in the bottom of the 5th. Wacha, who’d thrown 5 straight quality starts, just simply didn’t have it today. His final line was 5 innings, 8 hits, 6 runs, 4 walks and 5 strikeouts.
Steven
Cruz, Eli Morgan and Mason Black all pitched scoreless innings for the Royals. On offense, Michael Massey hit a 2-run homer late to make it 6-3. Bobby Witt Jr. had a pair of singles, that was about it for the listless Royals.
I wish I could say more, but there is simply nothing positive going on right now for the Royals. Their road trip continues tomorrow as they open a 3-game set in Cincinnati to take on the Reds. Luinder Avila is the expected starter for what should be a bullpen game. First pitch is set for 6:10 p.m. CT.
At least my Kansas Jayhawks might clinch a super-regional berth tonight! 🙂
