The Kansas City Royals couldn’t manage enough offense as they fell 3-2 to the Los Angeles Angels tonight. It was an odd looking box score as Kansas City only managed two hits while committing three errors. It was a sloppy, dispiriting performance overall. Let’s hit the highlights:
The loss drops Kansas City to 79-79. They have a chance to win the series, and top my preseason win prediction, tomorrow night in the rubber match in Anaheim.
