Despite some recent good performances from their rotation which helped KC win seven of their last nine games, the Kansas City Royals starters still rank 22nd in major-league baseball with a 4.71 ERA. To maintain the team’s surge, they will need consistent starts from their rotation.
The injury to Wade Davis, and mediocre performance from set-up man Joakim Soria, have compromised KC’s bullpen. The KC Royals need better starting pitching than last season if they are to make an 11th hour run for the playoffs.
Fortunately for the Kansas City Royals, it looks like they finally might be getting some help from the injury list.
