The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, CA square off with the Kansas City Royals of Kansas City, MO this afternoon with much on the line. A Royals win today would secure both this three game set and the season series as Kansas City took two of three against the Halos in Anaheim last month. It would also put the Royals just one game behind the Angels in the standings and keep them ahead of Detroit.
To that effort, the Royals put forth Brad Keller to start on the mound. He turns 27 today, happy birthday Brad! Keller got roughed up in four innings in a loss against Tampa Bay last Friday as he walked a season high five batters.
