Typically, the Royals wait until May to have painful two-week stretches where they average less than two runs per game. In 2016, the bug has struck early.
On Friday night, the Royals' pitching staff allowed one hit - one. The team still lost the baseball game. Behind a stellar performance from ace Felix Hernandez, the Seattle Mariners took the series opener by a 1-0 final.
Kris Medlen, who took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and wound up surrendering just one hit, took the loss. Do you know how damn rare that is?
