The Royals came up short in a well-pitched game against the Rockies on Saturday.
A quality start from Major League Baseball's co-leader in pitching wins and a shutout performance by the bullpen was not enough for the Royals to get the job done Saturday. Kansas City's record in the month of July dropped to 1-4 as the Colorado Rockies turned in a great pitching outing and secured the series win.
After the third inning, Lugo allowed the leadoff hitter to reach base in two straight frames. The second such occurrence was a Sam Hilliard bunt single. Hilliard, who rejoined the Rockies after spending 2023 in Atlanta, was batting in the number nine spot. Third baseman Ryan McMahon drove him home. First baseman Vinnie Pasquantino hit his 11th home run of 2024 with two outs in the sixth inning. However, he didn't do it with anybody on base and was thus unable to tie the game or even shrink the deficit to one. As a team, the Royals left seven on base, and more critically went 0-4 with runners in scoring position.
