KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Everything about this season so far has pointed to the Los Angeles Dodgers being a special team. Well, the Kansas City Royals got an up-close view of just how overwhelming the Dodgers can be when they’re clicking on all cylinders.

The Royals never recovered from the early deficit and fell, 13-3, to the Dodgers in front of an announced 29,689, the largest crowd of the season in KC, for Salute to the Negro Leagues night at Kauffman Stadium.

The Dodgers, who entered the day with the best record in Major League Baseball, clinched the series victory and extended their wining streak to 12 games.
