The Kansas City Royals inched closer to setting an MLB record for consecutive scoreless innings Monday in their 12-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com), the Royals have now gone 43 straight innings without scoring a run. The 1968 Chicago Cubs and 1906 Philadelphia Athletics share the record at 48 innings.
The Royals have now been shut out in four consecutive games, as they were the victims of a weekend sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Indians in which they didn't score a single run.
