The Kansas City Royals started the second-half of the season on a less-than-ideal note, losing to the Miami Marlins on the road in walk-off fashion.
Now, they still hold a winning 8-5 record so far in July, but Friday's loss marks the Royals' third loss in the last four, making it understandable for fans to be feeling a sense of déjà vu.
However, as much as the loss stings and puts a bit of wrench in their record amid a jam-packed AL Wild Card race, there was a major silver lining to take away from it.
