The Royals offense was hot coming into this series against the Tigers. They had won six of their last eight games. Then the offense came to a screeching halt, finalizing the screech this afternoon with a 10-0 loss to Detroit. Not that a little more offense would have mattered in this one.
The loss secured the sweep to Detroit, just their 4th sweep of the season. It is their 2nd in a row though, as they carry a six-game winning streak into their series against Minnesota. Meanwhile, the series again revealed a trend that has been far too common for the Royals of scoring lots of runs at home and very few runs on the road.
