Break out the brooms, Royals fans, because it’s a sweep! For the first time this year, the Kansas City Royals have swept their opponent, and for the first time in about a quarter century, they swept an opponent on the road in a four-game set. That it was a close 3-2 victory against the lowly Detroit Tigers is secondary to that sweet, sweet W, and the Royals continue to amass those like they’re going out of style. Kansas City pitched well when they needed to, and thanks to the red-hot Carlos Santana, they mustered just enough offense.
But no matter how today’s game ended, the story of the game was going to be Brad Keller.
