WASHINGTON (AP) — Five Kansas City relievers pitched 6 2/3 innings of two-hit ball after starter Michael Lorenzen’s early exit, Robbie Grossman hit a two-run single, and the Royals held on to the second American League wild card with a 3-0 win over the Washington Nationals. Michael Massey singled in a run off DJ Herz (4-9) to help lift the Royals to a second straight shutout victory after a season high-tying seven-game losing streak. Kansas City and Detroit are both 84-74 but the Royals hold the tiebreaker over the Tigers for the second wild card. Daniel Lynch IV worked 2 2/3 scoreless innings for the win and Lucas Erceg got the save.
