Royals’ ineptitude costs them again in 2-1 loss in Detroit
Royals Review • • sports
Key Points:
- The Royals lost 2-1, marking their third consecutive defeat, with their offense struggling by scoring two or fewer runs in 11 of their first 18 games and seven of their last eight.
- Jac Caglianone was a standout performer, reaching base all four times with three hits and a walk, including his second career triple, and contributing defensively with an outfield assist.
- Seth Lugo delivered a strong pitching performance, going 6.2 innings with five hits, one run, and seven strikeouts, continuing his streak of solid starts following Royals losses.
- Kyle Isbel drove in the Royals’ only run with a two-out single in the fifth inning, but relief pitcher Eli Morgan gave up a crucial home run in the eighth, leading to the Tigers' winning run.
- The Royals are now 7-11 on the season, having won only one series, and will look to avoid a series sweep in their upcoming game tomorrow at 12:10 p.m. CT, available on Royals.TV.
