The Royals squandered a late lead at Kauffman Stadium in the series opener against St. Louis.
Both teams logged double-digit hits, and the Royals led going into the eighth inning, but Kansas City faltered in the series opener at Kauffman Stadium against the Cardinals. St. Louis was down 5-4 with six offensive outs left, and wound up with an 8-4 victory after scoring two runs each in the eighth and ninth innings.
Subsequently, the next five runs all went to Kansas City . Center fielder Kyle Isbel got the home team on the board for the first time with a third-inning RBI triple. Second baseman Michael Massey then scored Isbel and was himself sent home on a single to left field by All-Star catcher Salvador Perez. That sequence tied the contest.
