The Braves’ woes during games following off days continued on Tuesday night, as they fell to the Royals, 5-4.
When facing a team with a winning percentage that starts with a 3, it is absolutely imperative to win as many games as possible. This is one area where the Braves have thrived in 2019, as opposed to previous years - but it just wasn’t in the cards tonight.
Despite the team loss, Dallas Keuchel set a season high in strikeouts with 12 over six innings. His two-seamer was remarkably mobile throughout the evening and kept Royals hitters off stride.
