It was a disappointing day for the Royals, who lost 3-2 to the Rays and failed to even the series. The offense managed just four hits. Zack Greinke wasn’t effective, and Mike Matheny’s managerial decisions were dubious.
Tampa scored two runs in two innings, the Royals evened it in the fifth on an MJ Melendez RBI single and a Bobby Witt Jr. sacrifice fly, and the Rays went ahead for good with a trio of baserunners against Jose Cuas. That’s your game recap. Nothing too exciting.
Greinke only pitched four innings, giving up five hits and striking out two.
