The Los Angeles Angels swept the KC Royals out of Southern California Wednesday night, delivering slumping Kansas City its third embarrassing defeat in as many nights and leaving the Royals winless in the only series they play at Angel Stadium this season.
The only thing even arguably good about the night is that the White Sox also lost, so the Royals gave no ground to the American League Central leaders. But they still trail Chicago by 7.5 games.
And things could easily get worse before they get better. Kansas City left Southern California for The Bay Area, where tonight they open a four-game series with the AL West-leading Oakland A’s.
