The 2018 Royals have done something that before the season would have seemed impossible: match the 2015 team’s loss total... before the All Star break. Three seasons ago, the Royals lost game no. 67 in the final week of September. This year, they lost game no. 67 on July 13th.
And they did it in a game that feels like it started in 2015 because it took so freaking long to complete.
The Royals lost to the White Sox, who are also 30 games under .500, for the sixth time in eight matchups this year. They lost 9-6.
