KANSAS CITY -- Mission accomplished. Well, sort of.
The Royals went into their final game of the season Sunday against the Indians at Kauffman Stadium hoping left-hander Eric Skoglund would finish the season strong, and that Whit Merrifield and Salvador Perez would achieve some notable goals.
The Royals lost, 2-1, and finished the season at 58-104.
Skoglund was solid through five innings, giving up just three hits and two runs (one earned) while walking two and striking out three.
Merrifield came into Sunday hoping to grab the Major League hits and stolen bases titles.
