Herrera blows save as Royals lose ground in the wild card

September 8, 2017 By Bill Pollock

Kelvin Herrera gave up three runs in the top of the ninth inning as the Royals lost 4-2 to the Twins at Kauffman Stadium.  It was his fourth blown save of the season.  Jorge Polanco singled in the go-ahead runs to cap the rally.  Brian Dozier’s bases-loaded sac-fly to the wall in left scored the tying run for Minnesota, which won its second straight on the heels of a three-game slide.  Robbie Grossman homered for the Twins.

Alex Gordon and Whit Merrifield had RBI singles in the fifth to put KC in front 2-1.  Starter Sam Gaviglio allowed one run in five innings in a no-decision.

>>Royals Take On Twins Again Tonight

The Royals take on the Twins again tonight at “The K.”  It’s the second of their four-game series, with Ian Kennedy set to start for KC and former Royal Ervin Santana for Minnesota.  The Royals are third in the AL Central at 69-and-70, 14-and-a-half games behind the first-place Indians and three-and-a-half games out of the second AL wild card.
