Not only are the Royals the hottest team in baseball with six straight wins, but they also have put together a scoring streak unseen in Major League Baseball this season.
While the Boston Red Sox (752) and New York Yankees (713) are the highest-scoring teams, neither has a streak of nine straight games of scoring five runs or more. Neither have the AL Central-leading Indians or the Astros, who sit atop the AL West.
No, the only team in the majors to accomplish that feat in 2018 is the Royals, who are at nine games and counting after Monday’s 5-1 win over the Indians.
