The relief corps once again couldn’t get it done.
The Kansas City Royals snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, coming within a strike of winning but ultimately losing 6-5 to the Milwaukee Brewers this evening in Kansas City.
Both teams threatened with a couple baserunners in the first inning, but neither managed to score. Milwaukee wasted little time getting on the board in the second with back-to-back homers by Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz to lead off the inning.
