Reality set in for the replacement Royals on Friday as Zack Greinke lasted just four innings and the young hitters managed just five hits in an 8-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday night.
Greinke gave up a run in the second inning when Raimel Tapia knocked the third hit of the inning to drive in Teoscar Hernandez to make it 1-0 Jays. But it was the third inning that did the most damage. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led off with a single, but Bobby Witt Jr. continued his poor defense stretch with an error to put two runners on.
