The Royals welcome the thorn in their side, the Minnesota Twins, to town for a four-game set with all four games being played over three days.

Series Preview: Royals vs. Toronto Blue Jays, June 23-25
Here come the Blue Jays. Tell me if this sounds familiar. After a terribly disappointing start, a team with playoff aspirations has played well enough to get themselves back into the AL Wild Card race because of a truly mediocre middle class in the American League this season. The Blue Jays were 2-11 through 13 […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Boston Red Sox, June 19-21
The Royals come home after a ridiculously successful 7-2 road trip that has vaulted them back into contention. They’ll be tested right away as they welcome the Red Sox to town. After a slow start, Boston has come on and been able to catch the Yankees at the top of the AL East. The offense […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Cleveland Indians, June 2-4
After a disappointing series against Detroit, the Royals welcome the Cleveland Indians to town for the second time this season. They’ll be seeing them for the second straight weekend. You may recall last weekend went well with a series win, but there was a bad taste left in the Royals collective mouths after getting drubbed in […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Detroit Tigers, May 29-31
The Royals return to The K for a pivotal home stand that begins with their first look at the Detroit Tigers. While many are disappointed in the way the Royals have started the season, the Tigers might be even more disappointing. It’s hard to pinpoint one particular thing that has plagued the Tigers this season, but […]
Series Preview: Royals at New York Yankees, May 22-25
When the Royals began their series with the Yankees in Kansas City last week, they likely needed to pull an 8-5 record at worst over their next 13 games. So far they’re 2-4, so this trip to New York for a four-game set is nearly a must-sweep if they want to try to climb back […]
Series Preview: Royals at Minnesota Twins, May 19-21
After coming back to earth to start the week, the Royals now hit the road and head to the place that started the trouble this season, Minneapolis. They’ll take on the Twins in a three-game weekend set with a chance to make up some ground in the division that they lost in the season’s first […]
Series Preview: Royals at Tampa Bay Rays, May 8-11
The last time the Royals hit the road, they returned home with the same win total they left with. Now they head to Tampa Bay to take on the Rays, who have hovered around and even at .500, but haven’t been able to get over the hump. The Rays have some pop and will work […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Cleveland Indians, May 5-7
The Royals are no longer on a long losing streak, and that brings out a slight window for some optimism. If you believe the Indians are the team to beat in the Central and the Tigers are the other team to worry about, the Royals have been a little lucky. In their wretched start, they […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Minnesota Twins, April 28-April 30
The last time the Royals were at Kauffman Stadium, they were beating Madison Bumgarner and evening their record at .500. A lot has changed in the seven games since then and now the Royals have themselves quite a hole to dig out of. They’ll have revenge on their minds as they attempt that when they […]
