Shildt: 'We weren't able to string anything together' against Royals

Mike Shildt on the Cardinals' loss to the Royals: "The fact of the matter is we played a pretty straight-up ballgame and a couple balls bounced their way — really pretty much the story of the game. You can't get too sideways about that. You don't have to like it, but you can know that's the game."
