The Royals scuffled on offense, getting swept for the first time this year.
“We’re going to keep playing hard,” Royals catcher and captain Salvador Perez said. “We’re going to forget about today. It’s over. Bad series for us. We concentrate on tomorrow and try to win the series at home.”
Michael Wacha was solid in his return from injury.
“What a competitor,” Quatraro said. “He’s pitching on a hurt foot, battling back this whole time without it being 100%. It’s a huge part of what he means to this team.
