How about *this* for some KC Royals pitching? Join the discussion on SportsBeat Live
The Royals aren’t making the playoffs, but the way the rotation is performing, you can build a case for a postseason run in the near future.
With Daniel Lynch allowing one run in five innings in Monday’s 7-1 victory over the Houston Astros, Royals’ starters have produced a 2.74 ERA over their previous eight starts. The team is 7-1 in those games. The pitching staff set a record in last weekend’s trip to the Chicago Cubs by surrendering 11 hits in the sweep, the fewest against the Royals in a three-game set.
The team going nowhere when it comes to the playoffs is doing it in encouraging fashion, at least on the mound.
Beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian join host Blair Kerkhoff to discuss the success and what it means going forward for the Royals on SportsBeat Live. First pitch is at 10 a.m., and please join us with your questions and comments.
