Halos blanked, spoil Skaggs' strong start
Tyler Skaggs strikes out Alex Gordon looking in the 6th inning for his ninth strikeout of the gameSalvador Perez led off the ninth with a single to left off right-hander Blake Parker. Mondesi pinch-ran, then stole second. Mondesi went to third on on a wild pitch as Mike Moustakas walked.
With the Angels employing a five-man infield, Bedrosian got Paulo Orlando to foul out. But Escobar floated a fly ball to medium-center that was unguarded, as the Angels had just two outfielders playing the corners.
Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy threw eight scoreless innings, allowing just two hits. He walked two and fanned 10, the 13th time in his career he has reached double digits in strikeouts.
