The Royals have inexplicably won three games in a row for the first time since the first three games of June (those were actually the last three of a five-game winning streak.) That makes the Royals 4-2 since the All-Star Break. Are they about to have another astonishing second half that will allow them to make a playoff push? Almost certainly not, but I won’t complain if they win again tonight.
Continuing the winning streak will be challenging for the Royals as they will face Casey Mize of the Detroit Tigers. Mize was a first-overall pick in the 2018 draft and has started living up to the hype in his first full season.
