The Kansas City Royals fought back but it was too little, too late as the Cincinnati Reds get the win 7-4. The Reds had a veritable army on the basepaths, with 17 baserunners. Kansas City outscored the Reds 4-1 from the seventh inning on but it was too big a hole to climb out of, with Michael Massey representing the tying run flying out to end the game.
Royals starter Michael Lorenzen was an excellent pickup last year and performed admirably, and he continued to perform admirably this year. But nagging at the back of my mind, it sort of felt like the other shoe was going to drop sometime.
