Unfortunately for the Royals, things have not improved since last we saw our weary foes. They come skidding in on 8 straight losses and have gone 2-17 for all of June. They’ve been swept 4 times and have plated 3 runs or more only three times on the month, but one was against the Astros. Whit Merrifield has been their best player during that stretch, slashing .290/.380/.403, with 18 hits, 6 walks, and 7 doubles in 62 ABs. Beyond that things tend to nosedive a little lately, with no one hitting over .650 OPS on the month. Moustakas has been their biggest power threat on the year, and does seem to be coming a little more alive in the last couple of series.
