On a warm 80-degree night at Kauffman Stadium, the Royals couldn’t have looked uglier in a 12-2 loss to the Texas Rangers. It’s the 11th loss in 12 tries at home this season.
After collecting just one hit on Monday night, the Kansas City offense showed signs of life early. In the bottom of the first, Bobby Witt Jr led off the frame with a triple and MJ Melendez drove him home on a sacrifice fly. However, the offense went silent for the remaining eight innings. Unfortunately for the Royals’ lackluster offense, the pitching staff was far from “on their game”.
