The KC Royals pulled off an important sweep and now know even better where the issues are.
The KC Royals managed to do something they haven’t done since 1999. They pulled off a four-game sweep on the road. It’s even better that they did this against an AL Central rival, putting more space between them and the bottom of the pack Tigers.
They move on to a quick two-game series with the Pirates before seeing a long stretch against the AL Central. These next few weeks will be important if the Royals want to continue sitting in first place and push themselves even closer to the postseason.
