Royals News
The Kansas City Royals extended their impressive winning streak to eight games with an 11-7 victory over the Detroit Tigers, showcasing a potent offense that has come alive at the perfect time. Salvador Perez made headlines with his first steal since 2021, demonstrating that even the veterans are bringing newfound energy to the base paths. This homestand has been nothing short of historic, marking just the fourth time in franchise history the Royals have swept seven or more games. Meanwhile, the long-standing issue at designated hitter remains a concern as the team continues to rank dead last in production from that spot. But for now, Royals fans should revel in this red-hot team that seems to be finding its groove just as the season winds down.
