Royals at Twins: Series Preview

That was a very dreadful home stand. The Royals escaped Kauffman Stadium by the skin of their teeth. After a 3-6 home stand, the team will look to bounce back on the road against Minnesota. Game 1: Danny Duffy (4-7, 2.69 ERA) vs. Yohan Pino (0-1, 6.30...

Royals First Half Breakdown

The Kansas City Royals have reached the halfway point at 42-39. The season thus far has been a let down, for me at least. The Royals headed into May at 14-12, but things would head south. Kansas City would saunter through the month winning a mere twelve...

Royals Offense Absent, Fall to Dodgers 2-0

Tonight's broadcast on Fox Sports Kansas City started off with some tears from both Ryan Lefebvre and Rex Hudler, but for good reasons. US Air Force Major, Robert Sides came home from a year long deployment, and surprised his son, Austin, who threw out...

Welcome Back, Zack: Royals Beat Dodgers 5-3

Welcome back, Zack! The Royals roughed up their former teammate for five earned runs in just 5.2 innings. The fans of Kansas City certainly did not give Zack Greinke a warm welcome. The same can be said for the guys we traded for him. Lorenzo Cain had...
