The Kansas City bats were led by Salvador Perez who was 2-for-4 with twi runs brought in. In the circle, the Royals couldn't seem to find the answer with Carlos Hernandez, Mike Mayers, Jackson Kowar and Nick Wittgren all giving up runs on the hill.

With the three losses at Camden Yards, the Royals fall to 18-47 on the season, including just 1-9 on their last ten outings. This puts KC 14.5 games out of first place in the division.
