GENEVA, Ill. - Micah Pries knocked four hits and Robbie Glendinning drove in two, but the Kansas City Monarchs dropped their second-half opener to the Kane County Cougars Thursday night from Northwestern Medicine Field.
Kansas City took an early 1-0 lead but allowed nine of the next 10 runs in the defeat, both teams' first game after the All-Star break.
The Monarchs (39-27) are four games back of first-place Sioux City in the American Association West.
Pries continued his torrid start in a Monarchs uniform with a 4-for-5 performance, collecting four singles and a walk. He's reached base safely in all eight games he's played with the Monarchs, batting .414 over that span.
Glendinning went 2-for-4 including a first-inning sacrifice fly and an RBI single in the third.
Julian Garcia took his second loss of the season for the Monarchs, allowing a season-high nine runs on 11 hits in 4.2 innings of work.
Garcia surrendered two early home runs: a Josh Allen solo shot in the first and a two-run blast from Oscar Santos in the second. The Cougars plated four runs in the fifth to make it 11-2 and chase Garcia from the game.
