The Royals went back to their losing ways the day after notching a 7-3 victory in New York. Ian Kennedy, the only pitcher who had been succeeding in the KC Royals rotation, got bombed for seven runs in a 7-3 loss on Thursday.

In many ways, this game felt like the 13-2 drubbing the Washington Nationals put on the Royals the day after they had stolen a 7-6 victory with a three-run ninth inning rally. Kansas City Royals fans couldn’t help but hope that the win would break the slump. The Royals fell to 16-18 on the season.

Instead, the KC Royals went right back into their doldrums.

The Kansas City Royals haven’t won back-to-back games since April 22, after opening the season 12-6.

Right now, #Royals Twitter is awash in negativity as fans continue to express dismay at the long dry spell following the team’s first title in 30 years. The Kansas City Royals are finding out that repeating is harder than winning the first time around. Let’s see if they’re up to the challenge.

Hey, if we knew what was going to happen, why would anyone watch? Uncertainty is what makes baseball fun.

Next: Ian Kennedy
