KANSAS CITY -- How bad is it going for the Royals? Their pitchers threw a combined four-hitter against the American League Central-leading Indians on Wednesday night and it still wasn't enough.
Four Royals pitchers held the Indians down, but the Royals' offense -- last in Major League Baseball in runs scored -- couldn't produce, either, in a 3-2 loss at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals have lost six straight and 24 of 28.
One of the Royals runs was manufactured on a delayed steal, which resulted in Alex Gordon stealing home.
