The future was on display as the Royals welcomed and awarded their top minor-league players in a pregame ceremony Friday.
That’s also been the focus lately on the current team, which was cooled off by the Cleveland Indians in an 14-6 defeat before 15,920 Kauffman Stadium.
The outcome ended a four-game winning streak and evened the series with two games remaining in the regular season. The Royals dropped to 57-103, and Friday’s contest got ugly in one inning.
The Indians sent 14 to the plate in the seventh and scored 10 times, the most in an inning against the Royals this season.
