In many ways, this game felt like the 13-2 drubbing the Washington Nationals put on the Royals the day after they had stolen a 7-6 victory with a three-run ninth inning rally. Kansas City Royals fans couldn’t help but hope that the win would break the slump. The Royals fell to 16-18 on the season.
Instead, the KC Royals went right back into their doldrums.
The Kansas City Royals haven’t won back-to-back games since April 22, after opening the season 12-6.
Right now, #Royals Twitter is awash in negativity as fans continue to express dismay at the long dry spell following the team’s first title in 30 years.
