Royals Fall in Heartbreaker

The Royals blew a seven-run lead in a heartbreaker against the Astros, falling 8-7 after a late defensive lapse and bullpen collapse. Noah Cameron shut down the bats early but surrendered two crushing homers before exiting. The offense roared back with a grand slam, but the bullpen couldn’t hold it — Matt Strahm gave up a tying homer after hitting a batter, and the rain-delayed Astros capitalized in the eighth. A ninth-inning rally ended in a double play after a runner was caught trying to score. With a potential sweep looming and Stephen Kolek on the mound, the Royals need to regroup fast — and close out games — if they want to avoid another series loss.
