Bullpen blows it again, too.
In today's game thread, I reminded you that Alex Gordon was 5-for-5 off A.J. Griffin and wondered if that matchup might be enough to get going. By the end of the second, he had made a very good running catch in left to save two runs and was 6-for-6 with a double that put him and Kendrys Morales - who had just taken a four-pitch walk - both in scoring position with no outs. Unfortunately a strike out, ground out, and pop out later, one could already begin to feel like the Royals had no shot at this game.
