The Royals return home for a weekend set against the Guardians, and a seven-game homestand that will be their last before the All-Star break. The Guardians have been a streaky team, but despite a lower payroll than the Royals, are right at .500 for the year and in second place.
Brady Singer goes to the mound tonight, with a 4.08 ERA in his nine starts since joining the rotation. Bobby Witt Jr. returns to the lineup after missing the last two games as a precautionary measure after getting hit in the hand by a pitch on Tuesday.
