KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Cleveland Guardians seemed to take advantage of just about every opening the Kansas City Royals pitching staff left them. It showed in the final score as the Royals gave up double-digit runs for the second consecutive day in a 10-7 loss at Kauffman Stadium Monday afternoon.
The Royals rallied from an early deficit to tie the score in the fourth inning, but they allowed six runs in the final three innings and dropped the finale of a season-opening four-game series.
The loss means the Royals (2-2) split the series with the Guardians after winning the first two games.
