Jeff Passan

with the Guardians after dropping today's game 8-5.

The hitting stars for the Royals, Bobby Wood Jr., his fourth home run, Vinny Pasquitino, his fifth, Michael Massey, Nick Lofton, and Michael Garcia all doubled in this game.

The Royals did get five runs.

What was a killer was – we'll get to Seth Lugo here in a second.

He didn't have a great day giving up three in the first.

But Royals were kind of fighting back and feeling like maybe they had something going.

They cut the lead 5-2.

They go on to score three more runs, but the three and the seventh were a killer.

Those three runs were given up by, is it Eric, I think?

Eric Sarantola.

Eric Sarantola, the new guy, two innings a hit, three hits, three runs, excuse me, three walks and three Ks.

Also allowed a home run.

That was what really torpedoed any chances they had.

Looked like maybe Seth Lugo was going to have one of his where he,

Fought through it and kept going and got it done in the end.

Doesn't happen this time for the Royals.

Matt Quintero talking about Seth Lugo and what he saw today.

Yeah.

Seth Lugo talked after the game.

He said he knows he didn't get the job done.
