The Royals have not scored a run since the 6th inning last night, against the Twins.

 

Meanwhile, the Twins have scored 20 runs against the Royals since the 6th inning last night.

 

Small samples size says things are not trending well for the Royals.

 

Hopefully, Mr. Santana is on top of his game tomorrow night and the bad trend for the Royals continues.

We expect multiple repeats, with similar results.

 

You understand that, correct?

Yes, i too look forward to the first in 2018 and 2019 and beyond, if you have not found better things to do.

 

Nor would i complain too much about more this year.

 

Thanks!

They have been shutout five times in their past five games. Their veteran leadership seems to be failing them.

 

What I can't figure out, though, is how Joe Mauer got four hits with Alex Gordon playing left field.
