At 25-59, the Royals have the second-worst record in baseball. But they handed the Dodgers back-to-back losses Saturday and Sunday to take the series.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A year ago at this time, Tony Gonsolin was preparing to go to the All-Star Game and the Dodgers were piling up wins no matter where they played.Gonsolin has yet to look like that All-Star pitcher this year. The Kansas City Royals chased him from the game in the fourth inning Sunday afternoon on their way to handing the Dodgers a 9-1 defeat.
The Dodgers have been far from invincible in their road greys. They have a .500 record away from home after the back-to-back losses Saturday and Sunday and have won just four road series outside of California all season . Gonsolin was not as unlucky as Julio Urias in Saturday’s loss. But he wasn’t any more effective. Ten of the 21 batters he faced reached base — six hits, three walks and a hit batter. Of the 11 outs Gonsolin did record, two were conceded by the Royals on sacrifice bunts.
