Another Royals loss

April 25, 2012 By Bill Pollock

The Royals matched their third longest losing streak in team history on Tuesday night when Cleveland’s Derek Lowe allowed one run over six innings in the Indians’ 4-3 win. The Royals also lost 12 straight in 1997 and 2008. Kansas City lost 13 straight in 2006 and had a team-record 19 consecutive losses in 2005.

A late rally against former Cardinal Chris Perez was not enough. The Royals had one run in and had the go-ahead run at the plate in the ninth against closer Chris Perez, who got his seventh save when he got Jeff Francoeur to bounce into a game-ending forceout.

“We’ll break through,” manager Ned Yost said. “I find it hard to believe we’ve lost 12 in a row, the way we are battling to the very end. That’s a good sign with a young team.” The Royals have been outscored 73-44 during the streak, though five of the losses have been by one run.
