The game started off quietly with both teams scoreless through the first two innings. In the top of the second, Will Brennan gave us hope with a double to center, but we couldn't bring him home. It was in the third inning when we finally broke through. Andrés Giménez doubled to left, and José Ramírez brought him in with a single. We were up 1-0!

Our bats went cold as the Royals' defense tightened up. We managed a few hits here and there, like David Fry's single in the seventh, but it just wasn't enough. The Royals' bullpen took control and we couldn't mount a comeback.Final Innings and Missed Opportunities
In the ninth inning, with the game on the line, we failed to get a rally going as Giménez, Ramírez, and Fry were retired in order.
