Royals fall to Twins in Lackluster pitching performance

The Royals fell tonight against the Twins for their second loss of the young season, Now 6-2 on the year. Poor starting pitching from Edinson Volquez, who lasted only 4 innings put the Royals in the hole for the rest of the contest. Chris Young came in for the 5th but was unable to hold the tie and gave up the two run lead that would stick for the rest of the game. Louis Coleman and Wade Davis were able to hold the deficit but the absence of the offense after the 5th inning was apparent as the Royals were not able to hit with Runners in scoring position; a problem they have had all season.
