The Royals have just two home series’ left on the season, both of them being four-gamers and both of them being against division rivals.
The first of those two begins tonight, as the second place Twins come to town looking to clinch the season series. The Royals will need to win three of four to capture the season series away from the Twins.
Kansas City will send rookie Heath Fillmyer to the mound, who struggled last week in Minnesota, giving up six earned runs in just 2.1 IP. He will look to bounce back in round two and salvage an otherwise rough August and September that has seen him post an ERA north of six.
