ST. PETERSBURG -- Something needed to click with the Royals before the season slipped away completely. If Kansas City is able to reverse its early season funk, this four-game road series against Tampa Bay might just be looked back as the turning point.
Kansas City came into Tropicana Field with the worst record in the American League and was at or near the bottom of the league in almost every offensive category. The offense exploded for seven runs in each of the first two games of the series, the first time this season that they have scored more than five runs in consecutive games.
