The Milwaukee Brewers, in a two-day batting funk, hope to rebound on Tuesday after a taking a series-opening, 3-2 loss to the host Kansas City Royals. The Brewers matched a season low with three hits on Monday and got all their offense on one swing from Gary Sanchez.

With some help from a few errors along the way
Last year, the Royals posted a five-game losing streak by May 6. They did so in 2022 as well. And in 2021. In 2020, the Royals lost five straight before their first month of play. In 2019, they lost five in a...

Cole Ragans time!
One hallmark of the Kansas City Royals so far this year has been an ability to avoid the huge losing streak. They’ve lost three in a row a few times, but they’ve avoided a losing streak of four plus.
Tonight, even if they lose, they won’t get to four losses in a row...
The Kansas City Royals have gotten off to a pretty strong start in the 2024 season. They are right in the mix for the AL Central lead with a 20-15 record, tied with the Minnesota Twins and only 2.5 games behind the Cleveland Guardians.

This is the youngest lineup in baseball
The Brewers play in the smallest market in baseball, and yet have avoided the valleys of losing the Royals have experienced. The franchise has lost 100+ games in a season just once - in 2002 - and hasn’t had a losing record in a 162-game season since 2016. On the other hand, they have only won one pennant in over 50 years and are still looking for their first title.

The veteran could boost the lineup.
The Royals have gotten off to a good start, but the season is long, and there are cracks in the edifice. The Royals are scoring 4.60 runs-per-game, good for 14th-best in baseball, but the production has been inconsistent. In 16 of their 35 games, the Royals have scored three runs or less. The offensive deficiencies have been enough for my colleagues to write articles about how the Royals have a...

Catch the Royals!
Jaylon Thompson writes about a promising start from Daniel Lynch IV.
Lynch indeed settled in. He displayed the renewed slider that was a point of emphasis in Triple-A. The pitch registered six swings and four whiffs, per Baseball Savant.
“I thought it was way better than it has been in the past,” Lynch said of his slider. “I still have some work to do with that, but I think it’s on the right track.”
But the Royals let the...
The Kansas City Royals enter play today with a 20-14 record. They look to win the rubber game of the series with the Texas Rangers. They will host the Milwaukee Brewers next for a three-game series to start the next week of games.

Nathaniel Lowe strikes again for Texas
There will be a temptation to blame this game on James McArthur. After all, he gave up two runs (one earned) in two innings, blowing his first save of the season.
There will be a temptation to blame this one on manager Matt...

Daniel Lynch IV gets a shot at leading the Royals to their second rubber match victory of the season
Fresh off of beating the Toronto Blue Jays to win their first previously split series of the season, the Royals are facing another opportunity to achieve the feat against the Texas Rangers, today,...

This was not a good night for Royals pitchers
Well, the Royals couldn’t go the entire season without being blown out. It still only counts as one loss and they still have a chance to win the series tomorrow afternoon. Sort of. But we’ll get to that.
Michael Wacha had been...

The Royals are in the midst of another winning streak. Can they keep it going?
One of the most fun things about covering the Royals this year has been discussing the milestones they’re hitting as compared to when they hit them last year. Here’s my favorite so far.
With last night’s victory, on May 3,...

The pitching scouting has resulted in a number of terrific wins over the past couple of years, but the offense still lags behind.
Before last night’s game, the Royals were 19-13, second in the surprisingly competitive AL Central, fourth in the AL for overall record, and best...

May the Fourth be with you!
David Lesky writes about how Bobby Witt Jr. has stopped pulling the ball for power.
My takeaway here is that there isn’t anything wrong with Witt. He’s an elite player in the game today and is putting up monster numbers right now without doing the one thing that most hitters need to do to hit for power. Whether a small sample blip or a mechanical issue that can be fixed (or both), what I take away from all of this is that...
A rejuvenated Salvador Perez will lead the reinvigorated Kansas City Royals against the visiting Texas Rangers on Saturday evening in the second contest of a three-game weekend series.
Salvador Perez and Hunter Renfroe homered as the Kansas City Royals rallied past the visiting Texas Rangers 7-1 on Friday evening. With one out in the fifth, Renfroe belted Michael Lorenzen's 1-2 slider 373 feet down the left-field line for his third homer of the year to tie the score 1-1.
