ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays just dropped two of three games to a Toronto Blue Jays team that had the worst record in baseball.
The Rays hope to experience better luck against the team that now owns the worst-in-the-majors distinction when they host the Kansas City Royals on Monday in the opener of a four-game series.
The Royals (10-20) have been held to one run or none 11 times already this season, including four shutouts, and they come to Tropicana Field fresh off a 1-0 loss in which five Cleveland Indians pitchers held them to one hit.
