The Kansas City Royals got swept 3-0 for the series against the Oakland Athletics.  After getting three hits and scoring one run in the third inning, the Royals just could get a rally going all night long.  Falling behind early with the Athletics scoring five runs in the fourth inning, the Royals had a lot of work to do and just weren’t able to make it happen.

Luke Hochevar is now 0-1 for the year after opening his first game this season.  After pitching only 4.2 innings he gave up 9 hits and 6 runs.  Ron Mahay, Ramon Ramirez, and Leo Nunez were brought in to close it out but were unsuccessful in pulling out the win.

Coming off a three game losing sweep against the Athletics, do you think the Royals can pull it together to take on the Indians in Kansas City on Tuesday?
