The numbers aren't lying. Lost by 2 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately. Pair that with a 9-man IL is starting to matter.

Royals News

The Kansas City Royals are showing fight, but a string of setbacks is putting their resilience to the test. After a wild 10-8 loss to the Astros, where they clawed back from an early 9-0 deficit, the team faces a new challenge with Seth Lugo hitting the concussion IL following a harrowing line drive incident. Meanwhile, Jac Caglianone is making waves with his hot bat, prompting a much-needed lineup shake-up. On the All-Star front, Bobby Witt Jr. was shockingly omitted from one analyst's ballot, adding fuel to the fire for a fanbase that sees his value. With a record of 28-41, the Royals are 4-3 in the last week, yet the specter of injuries and missed opportunities looms large as they prepare for a critical stretch.
