In the 10th inning, Royals closer Carlos Estévez came on from the bullpen. He threw a wild pitch and allowed a double to Brewers star Jackson Chourio. Eventually, the score was tied, 2-2, with runners on first and second and no one out. Then, one moment caught the attention of home plate umpire John Tumpane, who called a balk.

It’s a Midwest showdown as Kansas City looks for their first series win of the season this afternoon against the Brewers in Milwaukee. The Royals won in a blowout Monday before their bats were silenced in a 5-0 loss yesterday to even the series.

The Brewers were crushed by the Kansas City Royals, 11-1, the team's third straight blowout loss. The depleted pitching staff continued to struggle and the offense was non-existent as Royals starter Kris Bubic had his way with Pat Murphy's lineup, striking out eight across six innings without allowing a run.
