Royals swept in double-header

Detroit 8, KC 7; Detroit 1, KC 0. Royals loss streak now up to fifteen[*1] .

“This is getting really old,” Royals manager Buddy Bell said. “We literally did some bad things – getting picked off, doubled off. The kid pitched a good game, but he threw to the same place the whole game and we didn’t make adjustments. You’ve got to have the courage to make adjustments, to live with a plan. It is frustrating.”

Royals need to go 43-3 to finish .500, 25-21 to avoid 100 losses, 1-45 to avoid losing all of their remaining games.
