Don’t look now but after ensuring they were well and truly eliminated from playoff contention the Royals have won six of their last eight games. It’s the middle-of-the-season resurgence that keeps foolish Royals fans ever hoping that next year might somehow be different. But at least it’s more fun to watch than what came before.
Hoping to keep things going in a positive direction tonight is Brad Keller. Keller rebounded from a series of poor starts last week with his best outing of the season by throwing seven shutout innings in his last start against these same Oakland A’s.
