The Kansas City Royals bullpen allowed three runs in the eighth inning to the Minnesota Twins, squandering the opportunity to sweep their division foes as Minnesota rallied for a 4-3 win Thursday, Aug. 6 at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals restored their two-run lead in the sixth with a Salvador Perez RBI single, bringing home Witt. However, the Royals’ plans to sweep the Twins would fall apart in the eighth. The Royals would only have one base runner afterward, who was picked off in the ninth inning. While Pearson was assessed the blown save, the loss went to Bummer, charged with three runs on two hits and a walk.
