In a familiar theme this season, the Royals wasted several scoring opportunities, were hurt by an awful ruling after replay review, and had the bullpen blow the game late in a 4-2 loss to the Rockies Friday night.
The Royals adapted to Coors Field well initially, jumping on Rockies starter Kyle Freeland in the opening frame. Bobby Witt Jr. doubled over the head of left fielder Nolan Jones, and later scored on an RBI single by Salvador Perez.
The Rockies got on the board in the third off Cole Ragans with some help from a fan and terrible umpiring.
