In a crucial series opener with wild card implications, the Royals couldn't get it done.
The Kansas City Royals are set to host the Boston Red Sox at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday, Aug. 6, at 7:10 p.m. CDT, with television coverage on NESN and Bally Sports Kansas City. The Royals will send right-hander Seth Lugo to the mound, who has been a dominant force this season with a stellar ERA and impressive strikeout count. Opposing him will be the Red Sox's right-hander Brayan Bello , who has struggled with consistency but can still be a formidable opponent.
However, he failed to retire the side in order in any inning he pitched. Despite this, he managed to leave with two outs in the sixth inning, having given up just two runs. Unfortunately, reliever Angel Zerpa allowed both inherited runners to score, resulting in Singer taking his first loss of the second half. Masataka Yoshida had four hits for the Red Sox, contributing to the Royals' 9-5 loss.Despite the loss, the Royals had several bright spots.
