Latest news and updates about the Royals
Quiet Sundays can be a good thing, but not when it describes what happened to the St. Louis Cardinals bats as the Royals avoided a sweep winning 2-0. Andre Pallante was not the Cardinals problem Sunday as he gave them 6 2/3 innings allowing 8 hits, 1 earned run striking out 7 with no walks. […]
The sixth and final game of the road trip and the Royals are still looking to get a win. Kansas City has become a mercurial team swinging from long losing streaks to looking great and back again. We will see if they can salvage one in St. Louis this afternoon before heading back to the […]
The Cardinals will try to sweep the Royals on Sunday as Andre Pallante will get the start for St. Louis. Kansas City will send Stephen Kolek to the mound. First pitch scheduled for 1:15pm central time in Busch Stadium. Shirts in the “Tarps Off Terrace” will once again be optional.
We could go through this game play by play and try to deeply analyze it, but they’ve lost six in a row. For the third straight game, the offense looked completely outmatched by a pitcher who has never shown the ability to dominate a lineup. So let’s just hit some highlights and then try to […]
If the St. Louis Cardinals season becomes something truly special later this year, you can look back to this weekend and recognize that this was that moment when the team and their fans kickstarted it all. The “Tarps Off Terrace” returned to Busch Stadium Saturday and the team responded with another victory over the overwhelmed […]
The Royals are now in the midst of their second losing streak of at least five games. They only have a single five-game winning streak to counter them.

The Royals’ bats continued the vanishing act they have taken on the road so often this year, and the Royals dropped the series opener to the Cardinals. Michael Wacha, for the first time since his last start, did his job. He pitched six innings, allowing three runs. Would you like more innings and fewer runs? […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began rivalry weekend welcoming the Kansas City Royals to town and Jordan Walker was on the welcoming committee hitting his 13th home run leading St. Louis to a game 1 win in the I-70 series, but it would take more than 9 innings to do it. The first three innings of […]

The last time we gathered here for one of my recaps, the Royals had just won the second of two straight against the Detroit Tigers. It was the third straight weekend the Royals had won the first games of a weekend series, and the first two weekends had ended in a sweep. Things were looking […]
No one wants to watch a legend fade, and yet that’s often what happens when it comes to larger-than-life figures in the world of entertainment. Marlon Brando stars in The Island of Dr. Moreau. Willie Mays stumbles in a Mets uniform. Michael Jordan lags for the Wizards. Johnny Unitas lumbers for the Chargers. Gordie Howe […]
Anne Rogers writes about the Royals’ road frustrations, particularly from Salvador Perez. Need to figure [it] out myself,” Perez said. “Left a couple of guys with runners in scoring position the last three games, so I need to figure out how to get better and help my team to win. “… Everything changed after that, […]
Yes indeed, get ready, because every sentence in this lede is going to sound more absurd than the last. The Chicago White Sox have defeated the Kansas City Royals, 6-2. They swept the Royals in a three-game series. The win has put the White Sox record at 22-21. It has also strengthened the White Sox’s […]
With tonight’s 6-2 loss, the Royals were swept by the White Sox for the first time in three years. The Royals dominated the White Sox for the past couple of seasons, but that hasn’t been the case through the first seven games of 2026. The teams split their first series of the year, in Kansas […]
Sorry everybody, but stepdad David is in charge tonight. You will not be getting a detailed preview. What I can promise you is a screengrab of the Statcast Game Preview, ice cream before dinner and no bedtime. Don’t tell your mom. Tonight it’s Anthony Kay on the mound for the White Sox, who hasn’t been […]
The Royals are back at it tonight on the South Side of Chicago versus the White Sox. Entering tonight’s contest, the Royals are 19-24 and tied for third in the American League Central. The Pale Hose, meanwhile, are 21-21 and in second place in the AL Central, just a game-and-a-half behind the inevitable Guardians. Chicago’s […]
The Royals have not been happy road warriors. Their loss to the White Sox last night ensures they will have lost six of their first seven road series, the only success being a sweep in Seattle. They are just 6-14 overall on the road, the second-worst record in baseball. The road woes have been a […]
The Royals are now 2-4 vs the White Sox this year, after dropping a second straight game 6-5, writes Jaylon Thompson. These aren’t your older brother’s White Sox. During the previous two seasons, the Royals won 22 of 26 games against the South Siders. But things have changed now. The White Sox beat the Royals […]
The kids are alright, and the South Siders are somehow sitting at .500. On a chilly Wednesday at Rate Field, the White Sox outlasted the Royals, 6-5, riding a Colson Montgomery missile and just enough bullpen duct tape to keep the fanbase from collective despair. Noah Schultz spent the first three innings playing surgeon. Seventeen […]
If you were categorizing where the Royals were struggling the most this season, you would probably go with on the road, hitting with runners in scoring position, and against left-handed pitching. All three of those problems arose again today in a 6-5 loss to the White Sox, though the team fought and kept themselves in […]
After a tough loss on the South Side last night, the boys in blue are back at it again this evening. Game two of the series is very important if they want to get back home with an even record or better on this road trip. This might be the most favorable pitching matchup of […]
Chicago gets a shot at .500 tonight as the rookie Noah Schultz takes the hill for the Sox. Kansas City counters with Seth Lugo, a veteran righty who’s seen it all. Schultz is 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA and a WHIP that’s not exactly sparkling. His last start? A tire fire: seven runs, seven hits, […]
