The Royals pitching staff have given runs up at will pretty much all season. And as mediocre as it has been, the 7th inning has been one of their most effective. Their 7th inning ERA is their third lowest as a staff and their .751 OPS against is the 2nd lowest as a staff.
That was not the case today. With the Royals up a run going into the 7th, the wheels fell completely off, surrendering six runs and allowing the Indians to bat around. That inning all but secured the win for the Indians, finishing the sweep with an 8-4 win.
