Questionable lineup quiet in 5-0 loss

You could just take a peek at the Royals lineup for this one and make a safe prediction on how this one went. It didn’t matter that they were facing an average-ish pitcher in Mike Montgomery because when Drew Butera is your first baseman and Alcides Escobar is your third baseman, not many ballgames are going to be won. Add in the fact they were facing one of the better offenses in baseball and... yeah...

The predictability of this contest came to fruition early when the Cubs put up two runs on Brad Keller with two outs in the first inning via a David Bote triple.
