Mike Montgomery and Tim Hill combined to give up four home runs against the second-worst team in baseball. They’re so terrible. So are the Royals.
The Baltimore Orioles, who entered yesterday with a 39-86 record, took two out of the three games this series. I have nothing witty or funny to say.
Montgomery, who this team wanted for some reason as sellers at the deadline, gave up three runs in a second inning that ended with a bases-loaded double play, so it could have been worse.
Whit Merrifield hit a homer in the third, his 15th, to bring the Royals back within two at 3-1.
