The Royals seem to have a thing with extended losing streaks. They lost their 10th in a row on Thursday, their first 10 game losing streak since... 2018.
It’s something of familiar territory. In total, this is the 10th losing streak of at least 10 games in franchise history. Going back to their inception in 1969, just three teams have had as many—the Detroit Tigers (13), Baltimore Orioles (11) and the Seattle Mariners (also 10). The Royals know losing streaks.
This streak is a little different, in that the Royals have been in the mix of most of these losses.
