The KC Royals have a lot to worry about as the second half really starts rolling. There's winning as many games as possible before the trade deadline so they can be buyers, and then there's winning enough games that they contend for a playoff.

The Royals handed the ball to Bubic on Sunday, hoping desperately to avoid getting swept at the hands of the Miami Marlins. The de facto ace of the staff did his job. He threw five shutout innings and helped the team take a win away from the series finale.
