After stumbling to a 2-6 record out of the gate, the Kansas City Royals rattled off four consecutive wins to right the ship and get things back on track, or so it appeared. Since those four straight wins, the Royals have dropped eight of their last nine, beginning with a series split with the San Francisco Giants. It only got worse from there, as the Royals have not recorded a win in over a week and enter the weekend on a seven-game losing streak after being swept by the Texas Rangers and the Chicago White Sox.
During this stretch, the offense has gone ice-cold.
