Should recent winning change the way Kansas City Royals think about team, season?
With Monday’s victory over the Angels, the Kansas City Royals have put themselves in a position to post their first winning road trip of the season. It’s happening on the strength of pitching. Starters have given the Royals a chance and the bullpen has posted zeroes.
