The ugly season got even uglier on Monday night, as the Royals were blanked by the Toronto Blue Jays 8-0. It’s the seventh time Kansas City has been shutout this season.
After a two-hour rain delay, the Royals and Blue Jays began the top of the first inning at 9:15 p.m. Despite that long layoff, both pitchers dealt through three innings. However, it was Royals starter Daniel Lynch that was the first to blink.
In the top of the fourth, Toronto tacked on two runs on a two-run shot by MLB legacy Bo Bichette. In the ensuing inning, Danny Jansen made it 3-0 on a sacrifice fly.
