The month of April has been a depressing ride for the Kansas City Royals, who came in tonight losers of ten straight. Suffering through bullpen woes, inconsistency from starters, and the bottom half of the lineup dragging them down offensively, the pieces finally came together on Friday evening.
Handing the ball off their No.1 starter in Brad Keller, the Royals turned their utter dejection from Thursday’s loss into an act of motivation. Taking the frustrations out on Indians starter Carlos Carrasco, the first six Kansas City hitters reached. Kicking off the home half of the first was Whit Merrifield, who sneaked a dribbler down the first base line.
