Jaylon Thompson writes about the tough loss in the series opener in Baltimore.
“It was a really good ballgame throughout,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “It was exciting to get back and tie it off (Orioles closer Craig) Kimbrel. He is one of the best closers in recent history.
“Obviously, to lose in that fashion is heartbreaking. But ... that’s a good team and a good lineup, up and down. They beat us.”
Anne Rogers has injury updates.
Massey was placed on the 10-day IL on Opening Day, retroactive to March 25.
