Series Preview: Royals at Minnesota Twins, August 3-5
The Royals forge on and head to Minneapolis to take on the Twins, who decided to throw in the towel a bit at the deadline by trading away a couple infielders who really enjoyed facing the Royals in Brian Dozier and Eduardo Escobar as well as Lance Lynn and a couple relievers. But that doesn’t […]
Friday Notes
