Royals fall short in 6-5 loss to Boston

Ouch.

After their disappointing showing in Game 1 against Boston, the Royals’ comeback fell short in a 6-5 loss to the Red Sox. It shrinks the Wild Card lead down to 0.5 games.

Things started well for Kansas City in the bottom of the first inning. After a 114 mph double from Bobby Witt Jr, Vinnie Pasquantino ripped an RBI single to make it 1-0.

That lead, however, was immediately given up in the top of the second — headlined by an error by Michael Massey.
