The Royals got to Charlie Morton in a four-run seventh as the Pirates lost 5-1 Wednesday, losing their series and falling to 1-5 after the break.
The Pirates scored first in the third inning, as Jaff Decker walked, went to third on Gregory Polanco's double, and came home on Neil Walker's sacrifice fly. Morton gave up a line-drive homer to Eric Hosmer in the fourth to tie it, however.
And after that ... a friend stopped by, and I thought about the bottom half of the Pirates' lineup, and I wasn't too worried about missing most of the rest of it.
