Boy, a week makes all the difference, doesn’t it? After routing the Cubs on Thursday night, the Royals swept the Twins and split two on the road with the Reds to give them wins in five of six games and start their 14-game Twins/Reds stretch with a 4-1 record. Now if they can somehow split in Minneapolis and take three of five at home, they’ll end what looked like a daunting stretch that was likely to totally sink them at 9-5 and be 13-15 with the easier part of the schedule still to come. Is this team a playoff team?
Lesky’s Notes: The last week has been much more fun
