KANSAS CITY, KS - The Winnipeg Goldeyes (37-50) were officially eliminated from postseason contention Tuesday evening following an 11-0 loss to the Kansas City Monarchs (53-36) at Legends Field.
Kansas City opened the scoring in the fourth inning when John Nogowski hit a two-run home run to give the Monarchs a 2-0 lead. Robbie Glendinning extended the advantage an inning later with a three-run shot to left field, making it 5-0.
The Monarchs continued to add on late, as Jorge Bonifacio delivered a solo home run in the seventh before Kansas City broke the game open with a five-run eighth. RBIs from Andrés Noriega, Micah Pries, Bonifacio, Gilliam, and Glendinning rounded out the 11-0 final.
Goldeyes starter Luke Boyd (4-9) took the loss, allowing five runs on five hits over 4.2 innings, while striking out three. The bullpen saw appearances from Trevor Brigden, Ben Onyshko, Joe Jaco, and Zan Rose.
Kansas City's Ashton Goudeau (4-5) earned the win, limiting Winnipeg to just three hits across six innings.
The Goldeyes close out the series Wednesday evening at 6:35 p.m. CDT. Ben Kowalski (2-0, 1.08 ERA) will start for Winnipeg against Grant Gambrell (1-2, 4.40 ERA).
