The Rangers jumped out to a 6-0 lead by the bottom of the fourth inning, in large part thanks to a four-run fourth inning.
It was a rough outing for Michael Wacha (4-3), who has been the Royals’ best pitcher this season.
He went five innings, giving up eight hits and six earned runs along with four walks and five strikeouts.
The Royals did add an inconsequential three runs in the seventh and eighth innings after a Michael Massey two-run home run in the eighth.
Right now, there are a lot more questions than answers with this Royals club after coming into the season with their highest expectations in over a decade.
