The Kansas City Royals could not muster any offense against Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins as they were defeated 4-0 tonight at Kauffman Stadium.
Both offenses were quiet early on. Seth Lugo allowed a couple baserunners but otherwise got through Minnesota’s order for the first time without incident. Ryan, meanwhile, was dealing on the other side, retiring the first seven Royals batters. Maikel Garcia laced a single in the third inning to put a number in the hit column, but they were deprived of a rally after Kyle Isbel grounded out and Jonathan India was denied a hit on a great diving stop down the third base line by Willi Castro.
