“Every game is critical, obviously,” Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel said. “We are at that time of the year. We are hoping to get hot and win a lot of games. It’s a big homestand coming up and we just gotta keep rolling.”
The Royals fell short in an 8-7 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday, sliding another half-game behind the Yankees in the wild-card chase. For KC (60-61), the deficit could grow further, as the Yankees faced the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.
“We had a really nice opportunity today to come out and start this homestand with a sweep …” Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino said. “At the end of the day, we won the series. So that’s a net positive. Just stings a little bit when the game goes like that to finish out the series.”
