The Royals are playing back-to-back double headers for the first time in as long as I can imagine. They had Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday off this week. They played a double header Wednesday and intend to do so again, today, should the weather cooperate. The first game will be played at 1:15, the other at 7:15.
Jakob Junis, who has kind of fallen off a cliff, this year, will start the first game. J.A. Happ will oppose him. Happ isn’t having a particularly good season, either. He’s a lefty so Ryan O’Hearn will be forced to sit in the first game to allow Chris Owings an opportunity to strike out in his stead.
