After winning the first game of the series in convincing fashion, the Royals have a chance to do yet another thing that no one expects and win the first two games of their series against the Phillies, tonight.
With last night’s victory, following taking five of six from the Reds and Angels, the Royals have convincingly announced a return to their early season form where they could beat anyone except the Orioles and Twins. While the rest of the division stumbled, the Royals kept winning last night and will enter tonight’s game only a single win (plus a Guardians loss) from tying for first place in the division for the first time this season since everyone was 0-0.
