The Royals came into this homestand 50-53. They are trying to get hot and truly make a playoff push into the tight wild card race. The Tigers are also faltering currently, losing 12 of their last 13, so maybe the division isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility if they continue to collapse? The Royals are 8.5 games behind Detroit and 4.5 behind the Red Sox for the final wild card spot.
Anyways, the Royals really struggled with runners in scoring position yesterday, they had plenty of opportunities, but they couldn’t come through, outside of the walk-off three run homer from Jonathan India to win game 1 of the doubleheader yesterday.
