The Royals stretch their losing streak to five games after getting swept by the Angels. The Royals have started the seven-game road trip 0-3.
Kansas City falls to 29-31 on the season while Los Angeles improves to 30-32.
Here are three things I took away from tonight s game.
The Royals left the offense in Kansas City.
After a successful homestand that saw the Royals produce at the plate, they have not seen the same results on the West Coast. The Royals scored a total of five runs in the three-game series, including one run each in the final two games. While it s easy to point fingers at the starting pitching, the offense has been just as bad. In the last two days, the first four in the lineup have gone a combined 4-for-28 with zero extra-base hits. Whit Merrifield and Salvador Perez both had two singles. That kind of production from the top of the order will not get it done.
