KANSAS CITY – The Giants offense has its issues – witness leadoff man Aaron Hill! – but they’ve got nothing on the Royals.
When Lorenzo Cain reached on an infield single with two aboard in the eighth inning Tuesday night, it was just the Royals’ third hit with two outs and runners in scoring position all season.
That’s right. Three hits. All season.
Oh, and the Royals stranded the bases loaded in that inning. They are 3 for 37 (.081) with two outs and runners in scoring position this year. And they’ll try to get right against … gulp, can it be?
