The Royals struggled to capitalize on late game blunders by Cleveland, as Kansas City dropped its second game of the season 10-7 and earned a split of the four-game series.
Following a cataclysmic start from Kris Bubic on Sunday, the Royals handed the ball to Carlos Hernandez to right the ship. However, three batters in and Hernandez loaded the bases with nobody out. Despite a near disaster, Hernandez tight roped out of the inning by allowing just two runs.
Kansas City, who scored just seven runs in its previous three games, finally got on the board in the bottom of the third.
