Royals continue upward climb as Red Sox come to town

Getting to and going over the .500 mark is becoming a possibility for the Kansas City Royals.

After a highly successful road trip, the Royals host the Boston Red Sox in the opener of a three-game series Monday night.

Kansas City returns home with a 33-35 record, and it is only two under for the first time since holding a 7-9 record following a 6-2 loss at Texas on April 21. That defeat was part of a nine-game losing streak to end April.

It was part of a stretch of 14 defeats in 19 games that left the Royals with a 12-21 record following a 12-1 loss at Tampa Bay on May 10.
