The St. Joseph native delivered, twirling seven innings and striking out eight Guardians along the way while only giving up a pair of runs. But, once again, Royals batters did not show up and the team lost 2-0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Royals did make it interesting in the ninth inning. Guardians starter Joey Cantillo came out to start the ninth inning in pursuit of a complete game shutout, but Kyle Isbel singled and knocked him out of the game. Though Maikel Garcia flied out, Bobby Witt Jr.\u2014returning for the first time since Friday\u2014hit a single to put runners at the corners with one out, bringing sluggers Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvdor Perez to represent the go-ahead run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Neither even put the ball in play, as Guardians closer Cade Smith struck both of them out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Prior to the ninth inning, the Royals mustered three base runners. Jonathan India had a pair. Vinnie had one. But all five Royals hits were singles, and they didn\u2019t walk at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In tonight\u2019s loss, the Royals drop to 73-72 and are in danger of falling back to .500 on the year with another loss. While they are mathematically still in the running for a playoff spot, Kansas City is essentially out of the playoff race at this point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There just isn\u2019t much left to say here. The Royals do need to re-think some things. They cannot rely on Salvy, who has a hideous .278 OBP this year, to hit cleanup next year. They cannot run back so many low-ceiling hitters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But that\u2019s an issue for another day.
