For the Tampa Bay Rays and Kansas City Royals, their visits to Baltimore and Cleveland had one good moment but ended with unpleasant outcomes.
Both teams will be hoping for some positive vibes Monday night when the Rays visit the Royals for the opener of a three-game series.
The Rays (16-23) were within a game of .500 following a 5-3 home win over the Toronto Blue Jays on May 5. Since then, they are 1-6 in their last seven games, a skid that increased by dropping three of four to the Baltimore Orioles.
