We couldn't stay happy at Alex Rios for long
Baseball can be a tiring game. Playing once is enough to wear out even the most physically fit professional athlete, but playing two can be downright exhausting. The Royals were unable to capitalize on their afternoon win with a sweep, instead looking lifeless in a 2-0 loss to Chicago in the nightcap. The Royals could muster just four hits in six shutout innings against John Danks. Danks, despite having a down year, continues his mastery of the Royals, improving to 9-1 against them in his career.
Volquez pitched admirably, despite getting peppered by line drives early in the game.
