For weeks, the Royals couldn't score enough runs to win 3-2 type games. On Tuesday night, the defending World Champions found a new way to lose, scoring a season-best seven runs, but allowing eight to lose a heartbreaker.
The Royals' pitching staff blew three different leads in the 10-7 loss, but the backbreaker was an eighth-inning error by an All Star shortstop. A three-run eighth inning for the Yankees proved to be the difference, but the loss shouldn't take away from a legendary performance by Lorenzo Cain.
Cain hit three home runs in three straight at bats, belting his third, fourth, and fifth homers of the season.
