Its not like were getting blown out every game like last year, said Scrivens, who is 0-6-5 with a 3.30 goals-against average on the road.

The Royals relievers -- with little help from their defence -- failed to hold on. Johnsons error turned the game, Royals manager Ned Yost said, and eventually led to the go-ahead runs.
