Another Heartbreaking Loss for Royals

Late Lead Vanishes, Injuries Mount

The Kansas City Royals suffered another tough loss on Wednesday night, falling to the Houston Astros 6-5 in 10 innings after blowing a late lead.

The Royals took a 5-3 lead into the ninth inning, but the Astros rallied to tie the game and eventually win it in extra innings.

The loss was the Royals' fourth in a row, and it dropped them to 21-30 on the season.

Mounting Injuries

In addition to the loss, the Royals also suffered some key injuries.

• Shortstop Adalberto Mondesi left the game in the second inning with a hamstring injury.
• Outfielder Andrew Benintendi left the game in the fifth inning with a rib injury.
• Pitcher Danny Duffy left the game in the eighth inning with a forearm injury.

The injuries to Mondesi and Benintendi are particularly concerning, as both players are key members of the Royals' lineup.

The Royals will be hoping to get some good news on the injury front when they return home to face the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
