The Indians forgot how to lose, the Tigers and White Sox are treading water, and the Twins are trying their doggone best.
One month ago, the Royals were beginning to open up a small lead on their AL Central rivals after a couple of big series wins over the White Sox and Twins.
Things have changed.
The Royals were just under .500 for the month of June, and after coming into the month with a slight lead, that sort of performance would usually keep a team within at least striking distance of first.
