Kansas City will take on Texas today, looking to avoid the sweep by salvaging the last game of this homestand. Following their first winning road trip of the season, the Royals have put together a lousy homestand, dropping four of five so far against Oakland and Texas. They have been outscored 33-20 in those five games.
Zack Greinke draws the start for Kansas City. In his return from the IL against Oakland last Friday, he tossed six innings of one-run ball. That was his best start since May 2 in St. Louis.
Dane Dunning will oppose Greinke.
