Claiming a series or split has been hard to come by for Kansas City since their sweep of Cleveland on April 14th. 13 series later, the Royals still haven’t found a way to take a rubber match in any of the deciding games. Heading into Friday night on the heels of 4-2 victory the evening before, Kansas City had the odds in their favor with left-handed Danny Duffy on the bump. Despite being on cruise control through the first five innings, a six-run bottom of the sixth sabotaged a great start and potential Royals victory. Unable to answer, Kansas City dropped the second of four games against the Rangers, 6-2.
