Both the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals failed to score on Sunday afternoon. The Royals (13-9) gave up two runs in the third inning, two runs in the sixth inning and another run in the ninth falling 5-0 to the Orioles. The Royals are currently in second place in the American League Central trailing the Cleveland Guardians by three games. The Royals begin a four game series with the Toronto Blue Jays tonight in Kansas City.
It was a very frustrating weekend for the St. Louis Cardinals as they hosted the National League Central Leading Milwaukee Brewers. On Friday night the Cardinals scored a run in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the score 1-1 but gave up a run in the 10th and lost 2-1. On Saturday the Cardinals jumped out to a 4-2 lead but the Brewers exploded for 12 runs and beat St. Louis 12-5. On Sunday the Cardinals had many opportunities to score but could not come up with a clutch hit and waste another excellent start from Sonny Gray and lost 2-0. Gray gave up two runs but struck out 12 batters. The Cardinals take on the defending National League Champions the Arizona Diamondbacks for three games starting tonight at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
