Their walk-off victory on Thursday evening gave the Royals win number 57 on the year, ensuring they will not tie for the franchise record for losses in a season. That record was set in 2005 with a 56-106 club that will haunt your memories. Jose Lima set a record for highest ERA in MLB history for someone that made 30 starts in a season with 6.99. Zack Greinke was absolutely hammered in the second half to balloon his ERA to 5.80. Their second basemen combined to hit .235/.293/.334, worst in the league. They went 5-21 in August, dropping 19 in a row, including the infamous Chip Ambres dropped-ball game.
