The Royals dropped yet another game on Wednesday, as Konnor Pilkington and the Guardians pitching staff frustrated a pedestrian Royals offense to the tune of a 4-0 shutout.
The win brings the Royals’ record to 16-33, solidifying them as officially the worst team in the majors by record. Cleveland; however, improved to 22-24, earning the three game sweep of Kansas City.
The loss fell on Brad Keller who is now 1-6 as a starter this season.
Kansas City is off Thursday, ending a 10-game road trip, and starting a homestand on Friday night by welcoming the Houston Astros to town.
