The Red Sox (59-29) look to continue their sweepingly victorious ways when they visit the moribund Royals (25-61) tonight in one of the Kansas Cities (8:15 p.m., NESN), the one with the baseball stadium, behind Chris Sale (8-4, 2.41 ERA). Read Matt’s series preview here.
About tonight’s game: Sale, who has been on one recently, will look to dominate a Royals lineup that is bad and not good. He’ll be “matched” by Jason Hammel (2-10, 5.56 ERA), who, like the rest of this KC team, has been as bad as the Sox have been good.
