Royals News

Carter Jensen's remarkable 19-game hitting streak is the lone bright spot for the Kansas City Royals, who just snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Jensen’s continued success is a welcome distraction from the team's injury woes, as they lost Jac Caglianone to left groin soreness, adding to an already lengthy injured list. The Royals’ pitching remains a major concern, exemplified by Mitch Spence's disastrous 21.21 ERA, which begs the question of why he hasn't been cut yet. With a record of 34-50, the season feels bleak, but Jensen's persistence offers a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. As they prepare for the next matchup, the Royals need every bit of momentum they can muster.
