Thankfully the Kansas City Royals were able to save face in their midweek series against the Boston Red Sox by coming out victorious on Wednesday to avoid the sweep with a 7-3 win.
While losing a series to a team they're in direct competition with in the AL Wild Card race is less than ideal, there are certainly some takeaways to be had. While Matt Quatraro and the KC clubhouse will be using some of those takeaways to prepare for their upcoming weekend set in Minnesota on Friday, J.J. Picollo and the front office will have some takeaways to mull over themselves.
