Entering tonight’s game, the Royals haven’t lost a baseball game on Thursday since June 7. That’s six straight Thursday’s without a loss, perhaps the best streak of the season, two games better than the season-high four-game winning streak set earlier this week.
Unfortunately, they also haven’t won a baseball game on Thursday since May 24, when they took down Texas 8-2. That’s because the Royals have had off-days for eight of their last 10 Thursdays, dating back to May 17, including being off for the last six Thursdays.
The Royals last played a Thursday game on June 7, losing to the 31-31 Athletics.
