The KC Royals lost again Tuesday night. But their disappointing offense finally stirred.

In case you haven’t heard, the KC Royals lost again Tuesday night. It was a tough 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs, their fifth straight loss and ninth in this short season’s first 12 games.

This defeat, however, was a bit different from most of the others. Kansas City’s long slumbering offense, the element of the Royals’ game most responsible for their dismal start, showed signs of waking up.

Real signs.

First came the promising second inning, one almost reminiscent of the old “Keep the line moving” days and a refreshing frame following an all-to-familiar three up, three down performance in the first.
