Gavin Floyd struck out 10 Royals Sunday and allowed only two runs on three hits and two walks over eight stellar innings, but he still suffered a loss in the one-run defeat.
Floyd was brilliant, but journeyman Luis Mendoza was just a little bit better. His one mistake was a two-run double he served up to Jarrod Dyson in the sixth inning, and that's all it took for him to fall to 12-13. Floyd made 30 starts for the fourth straight season and finished with a 4.37 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, which is easily the best mark of his career. It's possible he could be trade bait over the offseason.
