The Guardians have lost three straight, matching their longest losing streak of the season.
Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie was knocked out of Friday night's game in the third inning against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. McKenzie in 2 1/3 innings allowed five runs on five hits. When he left the Royals held a 4-1 lead.In the other start he lasted three innings. That was due mostly to a 40-minute rain delay on Sunday against Toronto at Progressive Field. The three homers he allowed in those three innings probably meant that he wasn’t long for that game rain or shine.
Maikel Garcia singled. McKenzie fell behind Bobby Witt Jr., who hit two monster home runs off him in Cleveland on June 4, before intentionally walking him. Vinnie Pasquantino and Perez followed with RBI single to make it 4-1. Now the question is how long he’ll stay in the rotation. Gavin Williams is due to be activated next week from the injured list and is expected to be added to the rotation. The Guardians are said to be in the final stages of signing veteran lefty Matthew Boyd as well, but he is not expected to be immediately brought to the big leagues
