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.<\/p>\n
A four-run first inning, all with two outs, doomed Michael Wacha<\/a> and the Royals. Ezequiel Duran<\/a> tripled to score two, scoring himself on a single y Alejandro Osuna<\/a>. A Kyle Higashioka<\/a> double would plate another run to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Wacha would allow two more runs in the bottom of the fifth. Wacha, who\u2019d thrown five straight quality starts, just simply didn\u2019t have it today. His final line was 5 innings, 8 hits, 6 runs, 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. Steven Cruz<\/a>, Eli Morgan and Mason Black<\/a> all pitched scoreless innings for the Royals.<\/p>\n On offense, Michael Massey<\/a> hit a 2-run homer late to make it 6-3. He had a pair of hits, and Bobby singled and hit a bloop double in the ninth to give him a multi-hit day.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> to take on the Reds<\/a>. Luinder Avila<\/a> is the expected starter for what should be a bullpen game. First pitch is set for 6:10 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n At least my Kansas Jayhawks might clinch a super-regional berth tonight! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source sports.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was another tough day of Royals baseball.
