Royals News

The Royals are riding a three-game win streak following a thrilling 5-3 come-from-behind victory against the Texas Rangers, igniting some much-needed momentum in a season that’s struggled for spark. Jac Caglianone stole the show with a two-home run night, showcasing the power that has the team buzzing. With Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia also back in the lineup after some health scares, the Royals are starting to look like the team many hoped to see at the start of the season. The offense is alive and well, averaging 5.3 runs per game over the last week while outscoring opponents by 11 runs. It’s a warm feeling in Kansas City, especially with Witt's MVP-worthy season being overshadowed by national media. If they can keep this momentum going, maybe there’s still hope in 2023.
