The Royals will get not one, but two chances to end their eleven-game winning streak today with a doubleheader in Chicago. Remember, double-headers are seven-inning affairs, which means the Royals really need to jump out to a good start.
#Royals play two in Chicago today. So how important is grabbing an early lead in 7-inning doubleheaders? In a word...VERY.
