Royals Score 15 Runs to Defeat Phillies 15-1

Royals hitters scored five runs in the first inning after a throwing error by shortstop Trea Turner. Cristopher Sanchez allowed nine earned runs in 3 1/3 innings, including three home runs on his changeup.

Sanchez called the performance "crap" after the game. "Nothing really," he said through an interpreter when asked about the cause. "I don't really know," he added. "You've got to make (that play)," he said. Manager Don Mattingly noted the Phillies loaded the bases twice early but failed to score. The loss dropped Philadelphia to two games behind in the series.
