Royals fans go through roller coaster of emotions in Sunday’s loss
Wow, what a game.
The Royals lost 6-5 to the Tigers on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium, and finished a 2-4 homestand. All four losses were by one run.
Sunday’s game took fans through a roller coaster of emotions and that was just in the final three innings.
The Royals trailed 4-1 when they scored four times in the seventh inning. Jarrod Dyson’s two-run triple was the key blow in the inning and Royals fans were ecstatic.
That's what speed do! Big triple for Dyson to tie the game. @Royals #RallyMantis

I said going into this game that it's the biggest game of the year so far for the @Royals What a great comeback #ForeverRoyal #royals

The euphoria didn’t last long, however. Detroit’s Justin Upton hit a two-run homer off Joakim Soria as the Tigers grabbed a 6-5 lead. Fury ensued.

@Royals genuinely curious why soria still gets playing time

Soria was a worse free agent signing than Infante. I'm convinced. #Royals

Crowd was lit. Now pitching for the Royals Joakim Soria. 36,000 people became silent. It's like we all knew.

In the ninth inning, Alcides Escobar doubled and Dyson nearly hit a two-run homer that would have won it.
Damn I thought Dyson was gonna walk it off. Sooooo close #Royals

Dyson just missed a walk off home run. Baseball is incredible! Let's Go @Royals

Although Dyson’s grounder got Escobar to third, Alex Gordon hit a shot right at second baseman Ian Kinsler with the infield in and Paulo Orlando grounded out. It was another agonizingly close loss for the Royals.

That made me sad. I'll never say never with the Royals but it's going to be close to impossible to get a spot in the WC now.

Hard hit ball right at someone. Lather, rinse, repeat. #Royals

Did the #RallyMantis die? The #Royals are playing like he did.
