The Royals have bounced back in a major way after an 0-6 homestand. They went down to Texas and swept the Rangers in 3 games, a road sweep against them for the first time since 2003. It was also their first series win in Arlington since 2014.
They promptly traveled out west and took game one in San Diego against a good Padres team. Last night, their four-game winning streak was ended in a 5-1 defeat. However, they have already secured a winning road trip. A win today would mark a great trip and set them up for 6 huge games next week back at the K against the surging Rays and defending champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
