Kris Bubic, of Archbishop Mitty and Stanford, held the Giants hitless for six innings as the Royals sent them to a 3-1 loss.

The Royals managed just two runs on seven hits and a defensive miscue cost them in a 3-2 loss to the Giants on Tuesday night. The Royals managed to strike first with a run in the third inning off Giants pitcher Hayden Birdsong,

The Royals rallied late in the eighth and ninth innings to take Game 1 of the series versus the Giants yesterday, 3-1. The Royals have now won two straight games after losing the previous four. Yesterday’s loss broke a four-game winning streak for the Giants.

That’s a problem for down the line. Right now, the Giants are going game by game, and on Tuesday, Melvin planned to get as much as he could out of his two young pitchers. He is learning more about Harrison with every relief outing, and there’s no doubt in his mind about what’s ahead for Birdsong.

Kris Bubic threw seven scoreless innings, losing a no-hit bid in the sixth on an official scoring change, and Vinnie Pasquantino hit a two-run homer in the eighth as the Kansas City Royals got past the San Francisco Giants 3-1.
