From a certain point of view the Royals are still on a 12-game losing streak. The win they accrued yesterday afternoon was in a makeup game from early April. However, we should probably try to look at things more positively.
That’s when we turn to the pitching matchup and...oh geez. Mike Minor is pitching today. Now, to be fair, Minor hasn’t been AWFUL. But he does have a 5.75 ERA overall. That’s not good. He also hasn’t given the Royals so much as a single quality start. The last time he even pitched six innings was his first start of the season.
