Maybe there’s something to the calendar change for the Royals.
After ending April on a nine-game skid, the Royals opened May with a 6-1 victory over the White Sox on Monday at Kauffman Stadium.
Jorge Bonifacio and Eric Hosmer crushed a two-run homers, and in a sign that the breaks had finally fallen the Royals’ way, Salvador Perez banged a two-run single off the third-base bag.
The new month was only one indicator the Royals’ fortunes could change. The other was Jason Vargas on the mound.
Twice earlier this season, Vargas pitched gems to end three-game losing streaks.
