After excelling in close games the last two seasons, the KC Royals have suddenly hit a dry spell in one-run games. With a 1-6 record in their last seven one run games, and having lost four of their last five in extra innings, the Kansas City Royals are failing in the area that has made them a winner the last two years.
On Tuesday night, the only reason the KC Royals did not lose another one run game is that reliever Joba Chamberlain allowed an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth inning.
