A four-run sixth inning cost the Royals the lead in a 4-2 loss to the Nationals on Saturday. Brady Singer was pulled a few batters into that inning, and ended up with five innings pitched, two runs allowed on four hits, with three walks and six strikeouts. The series loss to the Nationals is the 14th series the Royals have lost this year in 17 tries.
The Royals got on the board first when leadoff hitter Nick Pratto walked. A Salvy single send him to third, and he was able to score on a wild pitch from Nationals starter Josiah Gray to make it 1-0 Royals.
