Royals' Offense Looking Better; Thanks, Bottom of the Lineup

The Royals offense has looked better the last week, and the bottom of the order is a big reason why.

The tide has started to turn just a bit for the Kansas City Royals. After an eight-game losing streak pushed them to the worst record in MLB, a win in the Baltimore series and a series win against the Angels (with a chance to sweep today) have given fans a sliver of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy first month.

It’s not overly surprising that the Royals have found a little more success against Baltimore and Los Angeles at home. Both teams are aggressively mediocre with suspect pitching staffs.

The Royals have taken the opportunity to score at least five runs in every game this week. So, is the offense fixed? Are the Royals poised for a run?

Maybe … we’ll see.
