It is no hidden fact that the Royals hit better at home than on the road. As a team, Kansas City is slashing a full 59 points lower on the road than at home. And after scoring nine runs on Tuesday and 15 runs on Sunday, the offense again came to a screeching halt in a 7-1 loss to the White Sox. The Royals also stranded 17 men on base.
After scoring 24 combined runs on Sunday and Tuesday, Kansas City scored just three runs across the final two games of its series against the South Siders.
Daniel Mengden got his first start of the season as one of two September call ups, along with Nate Eaton.
