Week 20 - August 24th: Royals Lose Game 2 Homestand
We’re kind of just playing to make it to the off-season now. I’ve tried all season to put us in a better position to compete for a wild card spot, but it just seems to be a bridge too far.
Game Summary – August 24th – Royals Suffer 6-2 Home Defeat.
The Philadelphia Phillies relied on a strong performance from 23-year-old starting pitcher Mick Abel to secure a 6-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Orion Kerkering earned the save, now having converted 2 of 4 save opportunities. The Phillies' winning streak has grown to three games.
