Royals welcome A's for home opener
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- After reporting the day before Valentine's Day to Surprise, Ariz., for an elongated spring training, playing two exhibition games in Arlington, Texas, and spending the first week of the season on the road with six games in Minnesota and Houston, the Kansas City Royals finally get to sleep in their own beds.
The Royals will open their home schedule, and an eight-game homestand, on Monday with the first of three games against the Oakland Athletics at Kauffman Stadium.
Kansas City went 2-4 on the trip. After getting swept in a three-game series against the Twins to start the season, the Royals won the next two games against the Astros before losing 5-4 in 12 innings Sunday.
