In a story that defines Danny Duffy’s biggest struggle as a professional, he was given an early lead and couldn’t hold on, blowing a 4-0 advantage with a meltdown inning. The end result was a 9-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
It started well enough for the Royals, as Sal Perez hit a two-run double in the first inning, and he came home to score on a throwing error later in the frame. In the third, Perez once again came through with an RBI hit, hitting a single into left-center to make it 4-0.
Perez is playing so, so well this year.
