KANSAS CITY For six innings Monday night, Mike Minor was everything the Royals needed and more. The lefty kept the Reds off balance, throwing all his pitches for strikes and limiting the damage to just one run on two hits as he cruised through the sixth inning.
Manager Mike Matheny had no hesitation sending Minor out for the seventh with just 82 pitches thrown and no hits allowed in his last four innings.
The seventh inning was a different story entirely.
Four batters later, the Reds had the lead that would hand the Royals a 6-2 series-opening loss at Kauffman Stadium. It’s the Royals’ second consecutive loss and their 11th in 13 games. One month after they were three games over .500 on June 4, Kansas City is now 14 games under .500 with six more games to play until the All-Star break.
