The Kansas City Royals haven't scored a run in 43 innings after getting shut out for a fourth straight game on Monday night.

They haven't scored since the second inning of a 3-2 loss to Colorado last Thursday. The 1968 Chicago Cubs and the 1906 Philadelphia Athletics hold the Major League record at 48 scoreless innings.

"I hate to say it, but it's all about learning how to lose," Ned Yost said. "This can really wear you down and prolong streaks like this for a long time because it's very hard when you're losing these types of games because disappointment sets in, frustration sets in.

"At the end of the day if we haven't scored in four days, I can still look at this group knowing that this group has been all in for four days. They've played to the last out for four games. There is nothing more than I can ask from them."
