The Reds scored seven times over the final three innings and beat the Royals 7-0 at Kauffman Stadium. Jason Adam gave up a grand slam to Adam Duvall in the ninth as Cincinnati put the game away. Jason Hammel took the loss who turned in a solid start. Whit Merrifield and Jorge Soler had two hits each for KC.
The Royals have lost nine of their last 10 games to fall to 22-and-46 on the year.
