Royals News
The Kansas City Royals are on a hot streak, having swept the Seattle Mariners with a decisive 4-1 victory, capping off a successful 4-2 road trip. This marks a significant turnaround from their early season struggles, as they’ve won seven of their last nine games, showcasing resilience and tenacity. Salvador Perez's daring dash home last night not only fired up the team but also highlights the infectious energy that’s igniting this squad. With a record now at 14-19, the Royals are starting to find their rhythm, and the buzz around top prospect Carter Jensen only adds to the excitement. As they look to build on this momentum, the Royals are beginning to look less like underdogs and more like contenders.
