Royals ready to move on after an ugly August

August 31, 2017 By Bill Pollock

Steven Souza Jr. and Logan Morrison hit solo homers in the fifth inning to lift the Rays to a 5-3 win over the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.  Jason Vargas gave up all five runs in six innings of work to fall to 14-and-9.  Whit Merrifield hit a three-run homer in the third to tie the game at three for Kansas City, which lost two-of-three in the series.

>>Royals End August Play On Sour Note

The Royals will be happy to turn the page on the calendar.  They are off today, which means they finished August losing six-of-seven games and 18-of-28 overall.  That followed up the month of July in which they went 16-and-10.  The Royals started just 7-and-16 in April, but reached a high-water mark of seven games over July 28th at Boston.

Ned Yost talks offense.  He says they’re not getting guys on base
