It has been a common problem for past Royals’ teams to start slow, both offensively and with early season losing streaks.
It’s still early, but Kansas City has been held under four runs in four of its first six games and are now in the midst of a four-game losing streak after a 4-2 loss to the Tigers Thursday night.
The four-game skid comes on the heals of the Royals winning the first two games of the season in somewhat thrilling fashion.
The Royals threatened in the first inning with a Bobby Witt Jr. triple with one out but stranded him.
