It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for warm-weather baseball in Kansas City. The Royals, 3-8 on the year, will try to turn around their cold start by taking on the Los Angeles Angels.
Since 2014, the Royals are 10-5 against the Angels at Kauffman Stadium. They’ve done well against them overall. But this team... is not like those other ones. The Angels are 11-3 and off to one of the best starts in baseball.
Tonight, Jason Hammel will oppose Andrew Heaney, a soft-tossing left-hander who makes his season debut.
Today's lineups. Shohei Ohtani has moved up to the seventh spot in the Angels' batting order.
