Good things and good news are in short supply around the KC Royals, who found themselves out of Sunday’s game against St. Louis almost as soon as it began, lost to the Cardinals 7-2, and ended the weekend swept by their cross-state rivals.
The loss dropped Kansas City to 1-5 on what is sizing up to be a disastrous homestand. The Royals begin a four-game home series tonight with the Astros, who are 70-47 and lead the American League West. KC is 49-67 overall, 4-9 in August, and owns the AL Central cellar.
