KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It was a bad day at The K for the Indians.
"We didn't play like a team that deserved to win today," said second baseman Jason Kipnis.
Carlos Carrasco fell apart in the fifth inning. What followed was not pleasant to watch as the Royals batted around in the fifth and seventh innings on the way to a 12-5 victory. A point to remember about the final score is that the Indians led, 3-0, through the first four innings.
Manager Terry Francona, who rarely criticizes his team, did so after the game.
