The Royals took a devastating loss in St Louis in their first game of the doubleheader that came at the hands of Wilson Contreras, who hit a walk-off single against Carlos Estevez in the bottom of the tenth. Now with the season series at 2-3, the Royals will look to knot things up with their I-70 rival in game two.
The Royals' offense is in the midst of a breakout series, where they have posted 15 runs in their first two games, the same number they had scored in their previous six combined. The Royals had one of the worst offenses in baseball, but it appears that they are starting to heat up and get a better feel for their identity going forward.
