The Royals beat the Cardinals, 5-4. It took a valiant comeback to get it done, but they did it. Here’s how we got there:
The Royals took an early 2-0 lead when Ryan McBroom hit an RBI groundout in the second inning, and Ryan O’Hearn followed it up with an RBI hit the next frame. But just like last week, Matt Harvey unraveled in the third inning, as he surrendered four runs and was yanked before he could complete the inning.
Trailing 4-2, the Royals climbed back in the fifth when Cam Gallagher hit a double and Whit Merrifield hit an infield dribbler that was thrown away by the third baseman.
