Royals lose for the 9th time in their last 12 games

May 8, 2016 By Bill Pollock

After losing two out of three to Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox sweeping last place Minnesota, the Royals are sitting at 15-15 and six games behind the Sox.

The Royals lost to the Indians 5-4 on Sunday.  Josh Tomlin won to improve to 5-0, the first Cleveland starter since 2011 to reach that feat.

Eric Hosmer homered, but Edison Volquez gave up homers to Carlos Santana and Mike Napoli.

The Royals were up 3-2 when Michael Brantley tied it with an RBI single in the fifth, and Lonnie Chisenhall’s bloop single gave Cleveland a 4-3 lead.  Volquez pitched just 4.1 innings.  Danny Duffy relieved Volquez and Marlon Byrd then made it 5-3 with a ground-rule RBI double.
