DETROIT | Zack Greinke got out-pitched Wednesday night by Detroit rookie Luke French and, well, what more do you need to know about the Royals’ 3-1 loss at Comerica Park?

There was really only one word for Friday night’s game: Depressing. You hate to use that word on a fireworks Friday night leading into Independence Day.
