Nothing to panic about here. Going 5-2 in a week will do nice things for the temperature. On top of that, 3.0 RA/G over the last 7. The arms are doing their part.

Royals News

Michael Massey became the unexpected hero in yesterday's nail-biter, launching a two-run homer to seal a thrilling 5-4 comeback victory against the Tigers. This win not only adds to Massey's growing reputation but also allows the Royals to split the series in Detroit, a much-needed boost to their morale. Despite the recent uptick in performance with a 4-3 record over the last week, the Royals are still grappling with a dismal -15 run differential. With averages hovering around 3.0 runs per game, their offense remains a significant drag on the scoreboard. Meanwhile, Salvador Perez recently claimed the title of the franchise's home run king, further solidifying his legacy as he aims for a Hall of Fame bid. The Royals, currently sitting at 44-62, will need to build on this momentum against Detroit again as the season trudges on.
