The Kansas City Royals lost, 5-4, to the Los Angeles Dodgers via a walkoff single in the 10th inning. Royals starter Michael Wacha pitched well into the seventh inning and the offense rallied in the eighth inning, but the bullpen did what it does best—give up runs and lose baseball games.
Most of this game was rather uneventful because Wacha and Blake Snell were cruising for most of it. Mookie Betts smacked a solo home run in the second inning and Salvador Perez lifted a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, but most of the action happened in the final four frames. In the seventh inning, Alex Call doubled home Mookie Betts to give the Dodgers the lead, and then Teoscar Hernandez doubled to score Call and push the lead to two.

Kansas City battled back the very next frame. Against reliever Evan Phillips, Nick Loftin walked and advanced to third on a Bobby WItt Jr. single. Jac Caglianone and Salvy hit consecutive singles to tie the game.
