The Royals trailed early against the Cleveland Indians and dropped a 3-1 contest on Sunday afternoon at Surprise Stadium. It was their fourth loss in a row.
The game
While pitchers held the Indians to eight hits, only one of which came with runners in scoring position, Royals hitters were slow to get anything going. They were held to one single from Tyler Collins until prospect Nicky Lopez broke through with his own in the sixth.
But it was Humberto Arteaga’s hit in the seventh inning that scored Billy Burns and knocked the Royals’ zero off the scoreboard.
