\n<\/h2>\n\n\tWeek in a Nutshell\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/h2>\n\n\tIt wasn’t a great start for the Kansas City Royals last week.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tThey lost their first two games against the Washington Nationals in D.C. However, the Royals salvaged the series against Washington with a win in the third game and went on to win two straight against their I-70 rival back at Kauffman Stadium. While they were unable to complete the sweep over the weekend, the offense came alive with 10 runs and had a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tThe Royals’ offense was the most potent in baseball over the past week. They tied for second in home runs and ranked first in OPS over the past seven days. Unfortunately, they ranked 28th in ERA and 27th in WHIP, which explains their .500 record in this most recent stretch of games.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tRecord this Week:<\/span>\u00a03-3<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tRun Differential for the Week<\/span>: +5<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tRecord for the Year<\/span>: 32-46<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tRun Differential for the Year<\/span>: -44<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tStanding<\/span>: 5th in the AL Central<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tOne Sentence Game Summaries<\/span>

\n<\/h2>\n\n\tThe week started out with an acquisition, as the Royals acquired some much-needed pitching depth on June 15th. Kansas City traded low-level Minor League reliever Denis Samudio<\/a> for Toronto’s Connor Seabold<\/a>, who was recently designated for assignment. Additionally, the Royals also promoted Spence to make the start on Monday against the Nationals.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
