KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals can’t catch a break.
Things have gone downhill with a rash of injuries and bad baseball being played on a nightly basis. The Royals are in a rut and are now the owners of Major League Baseball’s worst record: 18-50.
On Wednesday, they squandered another chance at victory. The Reds cruised to a 7-4 victory and swept the Royals in a three-game set for the first time since the 1999 season.
