The Royals are rolling. Probably too late to climb back into the playoff picture, but this feels different than taking on victories at the end of a losing season. Their starting pitching has been superb, led by rookie Brady Singer, and the development of the club’s young arms is an encouraging sign for the future.

On this episode of our daily sports podcast, SportsBeat KC, KC Star Royals beat writer Lynn Worthy discusses this recent stretch and what awaits the Royals in their final 10 games of 2020. Another topic: the interruption in Danny Duffy’s season after missing a team flight earlier this week.

After a break, you’ll hear from Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark, who has picked up where he left off last season — feeling healthy and playing well.
