The bats have come alive of late for the Kansas City Royals, as Wednesday afternoon's commanding 8-4 victory was the latest strong offensive showing. This marked the fourth time in the last six games since the All-Star break that the Royals have scored seven or more runs.
Unfortunately for Kansas City, those other two games have been either one run or shutout losses, low-scoring affairs that they've become far too accustomed to producing this season.
After one of those difficult losses on Tuesday night, the Royals came back and responded excellently, seemingly doing next to everything right in the series finale.
