Mark Redman pitched a great game, but his defense let him down. Watch a Royals game, and you're likely going to see something that you've never seen before. In this game, it was center fielder Kerry Robinson's attempt to climb the wall to rob Joe Crede of a homerun. The only problem is that the ball never made it to the wall; it bounced behind Robinson on the warning track and bounced into the stands for a ground rule double.
That misplay didn't hurt, but Robinson's next one did. With two outs in the eighth inning with the score tied 2-2, Robinson misjudged Jim Thome's fly ball. Thome was at second when he should have been the third out of the inning. Joe Crede then drove Thome in to take the lead for good.
Royals fans are waiting in anticipation as it is believed that David Glass's "significant changes" will happen in the next day or two.
