Royals lose, again, 8-3

Alcides Escobar was the offensive star of the match, for the Royals. He walked and also hit a two-run home run. He was involved in every run scored for the Royals because he also scored on a passed ball in the eighth. Everything else went just about the way you’d expect.

The biggest story of the night, though, was Danny Duffy. Not because he pitched particularly well, unfortunately. He allowed six runs in 5.1 innings. He only walked one, which was good, but he also only struck out two. He threw 100 pitches and once again gave up a single home run but also a bunch of other hits which made this yet another game in which he allowed both a single home run and at least six earned runs.
