The Kansas City Royals hit the road after a respectable 5-5 homestand, respectable considering the team had only won one of their first 12 games at home. The Royals ended the homestand strong with wins in four of the final five games at Kaufman Stadium. On Friday night, the Royals dropped the opener of the road trip 5-1 to the Brewers. On Saturday night, Greinke gave the Royals a chance with five solid innings and just two earned runs. The Royals briefly held a 3-2 lead before the Brewers tied it in the sixth and won the game with walk-off sacrifice fly in the 9th.
