The Royals’ impressive seven-game winning streak came to a close last night in a game where the offense didn’t show up and the pitching couldn’t make up for their lack. Still, this team is in third place in the so-far competitive AL Central. The Guardians, Tigers, and Royals are all flawed teams so there’s every chance that this division becomes non-competitive by the end of the year, but for now they’re all riding high on early-season success.
This will be an early trial for your boys in blue. After blowing out the Astros two games in a row to complete a series sweep and a sweep of their entire seven-game homestand, can they bounce back from a loss in which they looked a bit over their heads?
