To say that it has been an interesting week for the Kansas City Royals would be an understatement. After starting the season as the last undefeated team in baseball, the Royals lost two consecutive games to the lowly Minnesota Twins before the Oakland A’s turned Billy Butler‘s homecoming into a mission of vengeance. Yes, it was quite the interesting week.
Through it all, the Royals managed to go 3-3 while losing Alex Rios to a fractured left hand and Greg Holland to a strained muscle. Alcides Escobar is day to day due to a late slide from Brett Lawrie, turning the A’s third baseman into Public Enemy Number One for the rest of the weekend, and probably beyond.
