It’s their second-longest losing streak to one team — done most recently from July 23, 2016, to July 15, 2017, against the Texas Rangers. “We can pretend that we aren’t in a hole as much as we want,” Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino said. “But we are. You know, it’s past Memorial Day now. We’ve got to dig ourselves out. And I think we are capable of doing it. But we do have to do it.” https://www.kansascity.com/video/article315908922.html/video-embed 62 2026-05-27T17:19:06Z no https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article315894972.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/02b84a82-174c-4cb7-81b2-b3c86a69cfa0/1_th.jpg Police share update on shooting at Pleasant Hill Price Chopper Prosecutors have charged a 27-year-old man with murder and several other felonies in a deadly shooting on Memorial Day at the Cosentino’s Price Chopper in Pleasant Hill. The Cass County Prosecutor’s Office charged Allen T. Prince of Pleasant Hill with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault or attempted first-degree assault, and three counts of armed criminal action. According to court documents, the charges stem from the shooting shortly before 4:30 p.m. Monday at the Price Chopper at 2102 N. Missouri 7 that killed a 45-year-old woman from Johnson County, Missouri, who was shopping at the store. A 17-year-old store employee was also shot and was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries. Prince was also taken to a hospital for what police believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article315894972.html/video-embed 124 2026-05-26T18:01:54Z no https://www.kansascity.com/video/article315886763.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/84f02183-f3d5-49c6-b386-777e7e5cf7cd/1_th.jpg Royals star Salvador Perez assesses another loss to the Yankees Kansas City Royals star Salvador Perez assesses another loss to the New York Yankees, in spite of homers by Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. at Kauffman Stadium on May 25, 2026. https://www.kansascity.com/video/article315886763.html/video-embed 45 2026-05-25T23:00:30Z no
