## Resource

The Royals got swept in Baltimore, dropping an 8-2 loss that was sealed by Matt Strahm’s disastrous third-inning meltdown—giving up five runs. They briefly led thanks to an error and Isaac Collins’ triple, but the other team answered with a two-run homer. Bobby Witt Jr. tied it in the third with a double and a single by Lane Thomas, but Seth Lugo’s four innings (2 runs, 6 Ks) weren’t enough. Strahm’s ERA now sits at 7.18, and Lucas Erceg added a homer before benches cleared—nothing came of it. The offense went cold after the third, leaving them with the worst record in baseball heading into the All-Star break, especially struggling against the AL East. Hope for a reset before they return Friday. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
