It was Bailey’s only earned run, but was charged with the loss. Dan Reichert gave up the six other runs, including four in the fifth inning. That rally erased a 4-2 Royal lead. The loss dropped Kansas City to 0-2 under interim manager Johnny Mizerock. They now head to Baltimore….Rookie pitcher Jeremy Affeldt will make his first major league start on Friday.
