A day after squandering a lead entering the seventh inning, the Royals did it again.
This time, though, Kansas City managed to rally back.
Adalberto Mondesi hit a go-ahead single in the 11th inning to help lift the Royals to a 7-4 victory over the Washington Nationals that snapped a four-game skid.
“It was big for us, especially after yesterday kind of giving up the lead (in an 8-4 loss to Cleveland) and giving it up again today,” left fielder Alex Gordon said. “I thought we could have put our heads down and took a loss, but give us credit for putting together a good inning and making something happen.
