An utterly embarrassing week for the Kansas City Royals finished on Sunday with the Athletics putting the final nail in the coffin. The Royals went 0-6 on the week against the Athletics and New York Yankees, and they lost in excruciating fashion on Sunday. Leading 2-0 for most of the game, Kansas City surrendered a two-run blast to Austin Wynns to tie it, then a ninth-inning solo shot for Nick Kurtz won it for the A’s. At 34-38, the Royals now face long odds to make the playoffs.
