On the morning of 15 May, the KC Royals find themselves two games under .500 at 17-19 and 6.5 games behind the AL Central leading White Sox. Also, as pointed out by John Viril, the Royals have two injured starting pitchers, and an offensive black hole in RF. The old adage is that a team cannot win a division in April or May, but they sure can lose one.
The schedule for the 2nd half of May for the Kansas City Royals features two series vs. bottom dwellers Minnesota and Atlanta. The KC Royals also face the Red Sox who lead MLB in batting average and runs scored, and the Rays at the end of the month.
