The Royals lost their second straight game in Atlanta. There’s not a whole lot of interest to report. Seth Lugo pitched only two innings. He was followed by Michael Lorenzen for two, then Daniel Lynch IV for two. John Schreiber went an inning and Sam Long tried to go more than one inning but gave up the walk-off dinger to Travis D’Arnaud with one out in the ninth. It was the second night in a row an Atlanta backstop hit a home run to give his team the margin of victory.
From one perspective, the Royals' offensive woes continued.
