All-Star Carlos Estévez came on for the 10th inning and gave up three runs, two on a Kyle Stowers homer hit to Mars, to blow the game and lose 8-7 on a walkoff.
New half of the season, same story in some cases. Different story in others.
In the first AND sixth inning, the Royals had two guys on base and did not score any of them. In the first, the boys got two runners on after a walk and single, but a dribbler groundout ended the inning. In the sixth, a double and walk were followed by a groundout double play and another groundout to end it.
