Watch now: We discuss the Kansas City Royals’ rough start to road trip

The Kansas City Royals waited two days to play a game at Baltimore, and for one game it seemed worth the delay. They won the opener of a doubleheader Sunday. But two losses meant the Royals dropped the series and head to Texas eight games under .500.

Once again, timely hitting eluded the Royals in the previous two losses. They rank near the bottom of several American League hitting categories. The team batting average is .222. The OPS is .605.

Let’s talk about it. SportsBeat Live, the weekly conversation about the Royals with reporters and columnists from The Kansas City Star and with you. Please send us your questions and comments. First pitch is 10 a.m.
