On This Day in Royals History: In 2014, the Los Angeles Angels mounted a dramatic comeback to defeat the Kansas City Royals 7-6. The Royals held a 5-1 lead going into the eighth inning, but All-Star reliever Wade Davis surrendered two runs, narrowing the gap. In the ninth, closer Greg Holland struggled, giving up a leadoff single, a walk, and a wild pitch. C.J. Cron then hit a pinch-hit double to tie the game, followed by Johnny Giavotella’s single and Kole Calhoun’s go-ahead double into the right-field corner. Holland, who allowed four runs on four hits and two walks without recording an out, was pulled after walking Mike Trout.
