Fueled by a five-run seventh inning, Kansas City beat Milwaukee — the team with the National League’s best record — 5–4 Wednesday to split a two-game set with the Brewers. The Royals have won three of six on the heels of a season-high-tying nine-game losing streak.
The Royals’ five-run seventh — keyed by Adalberto Mondesi’s two-run single (which was a few feet short of landing as a grand slam) — included more runs than the Royals had scored in any of their previous 19 games since June 4. It snapped the longest streak in the Majors since the 1992 Baltimore Orioles scored four or fewer in 21 straight games from Sept.
