You know who everyone wants to play when they are struggling to score runs? The third best hitting team (in terms of OPS) in the majors.
Tonight is game 1 of a four game series for the Royals in Boston where they face the surging and AL East leading Red Sox. The Red Sox are feeling good about themselves after a sweep of their rivals, the Yankees over the weekend.
Royals are sending Danny Duffy to the mound for his first start since his season debut in the bullpen Friday against the Rangers.
Duffy recently joined the ten year MLB service time club, all with the Royals which means he can veto any trade.
