Royals hammer Blue Jays, win fourth straight series
The Royals pounced on the Blue Jays Thursday evening, beginning the game with a home from Carter Jensen and finishing it with a 13-2 victory. One day after the nine-game winning streak ended, the Royals looked no worse for wear. Noah Cameron started the game and looked like his second-half self. He pitched six innings, […]
Royals’ Nine-Game Streak Ends, But the Bigger Picture Still Looks Good
The Kansas City Royals’ nine-game winning streak came to an end with a 3-0 loss to Toronto, but Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco frame it as a strong stretch rather than any kind of collapse. Bobby Witt Jr. stays in the AL MVP conversation, though the offensive edge right now still points toward Yordan Alvarez. […]
Royals vs Blue Jays, August 27th game discussion
Chins up, everyone. Unless the Royals winning streak had hit 25 games, they weren’t going to make the playoffs. And so they fell 16 games short of it. So what? That was quite the enjoyable stretch of baseball, and despite losing last night, I’m looking forward to tonight’s game. Noah Cameron is back on the […]
Michael Massey to the Injured List, Anthony Gose joins the pen
The Royals will be without second baseman Michael Massey for at least another week, as they placed him on the 7-day Injured List with a concussion. Massey hit his head on the turf after losing his balance on a play on Tuesday. The Royals recalled infielder Josh Rojas to replace him on the roster, and […]
Who could the Royals call up in September?
We are closing in on September call-up season, and to be honest, it snuck up on me. On September 1, rosters expand from 26 players to 28, meaning the Kansas City Royals can add two more guys to the Major League roster. Last September was an exciting time; the Royals called up then-#2 prospect Carter […]
Kansas City Royals news: The winning streak ends
A Nathan Lukes 3-run homer in the 4th inning, snapped the Royals 9-game winning streak last night, as the Royals were blanked by the Toronto bullpen game. Jac Caglianone returned last night (and struggled) but he has become a feared power hitter this season. In 2025, Jac Caglianone was searching. For results, for answers, for […]
Blue Jays bullpen blanks Royals to end the winning streak
Kansas City had only a few opportunities to score and did not manage to cash in on any of them while the Blue Jays got one ball over the wall. It was enough to get a 3-0 victory and tie the series. The Royals 9-game win streak is at an end. The Toronto bullpen took […]
Royals vs. Blue Jays August 26th game discussion
Game two in Toronto has the lineups set. The Royals will be going for their 10th win in a row while the Blue Jays continue clinging to hope of sneaking into the wildcard. It will be Randy Dobnak on the mound for the Royals. He has thus far put up a sparkling ERA despite mediocre […]
A look back at the longest winning streaks in Royals history
After four months of underwhelming baseball, the Royals have inexplicably gone on a run, winning nine in a row. They’re just the fourth team in MLB history to be at least 24 games under .500 and go on a nine-game winning streak. In other words, this is not normal. And tonight, the Royals have a […]
Kansas City Royals news: Playoff hopium runs high
Kansas City Star’s Pete Grathoff weighs in on the Kansas City Royals’ glimmer of playoff hope following a red-hot run. The bad news for the Royals: They have just 30 games to play and are 8 back in the wild-card standings. That’s a tough mountain to climb. The other daunting factor … seven teams are […]
Royals win ninth consecutive game with incredible defense when it counted most
The wins keep on rolling: tonight, the Kansas City Royals walked into the home of the Toronto Blue Jays and won 5-3 with a wild ninth inning that featured a pair of crucial defensive masterpieces. In the first inning, both the Royals and Jays traded blows. Carter Jensen immediately singled against Blue Jays starter Max […]
Royals vs. Blue Jays August 25 game discussion
“You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.” That’s one of the most famous quotes from 2008’s superhero film The Dark Knight. It’s also a quote that describes one Max Scherzer. Mad Max’s multi-color gaze has witnessed a lot of batters doing damage to his pitches recently, and he […]
Blue Jays series preview: Last year’s AL champs
The Blue Jays had a deep post-season run, coming so close to winning a championship. But they stumbled out of the gate in their attempt to run it back, losing 12 of 15 in April, a hole that they struggled to emerge from. They have suffered some injuries, but most of their decline has come […]
Does a Royals second-half surge mean anything?
The Royals have won eight in a row, and although its probably too late to make a real run, it can offer some hope for fans. There are, of course, plenty of reasons to be skeptical about the Royals’ second-half surge. There is nothing to play for, so these games can be downplayed a bit. […]
This Week in the Minors: The River Bandits continue to surge
This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?” Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers (57-66, 18.5 games back) The Storm Chasers lost 5 of 6 in their series […]
Kansas City Royals News: Stadium details trickle out
Chris Higgins and Dylan Lysen at the Kansas City Star have some more details about the framework agreed to by the City Council for the stadium deal. The framework calls for the city to contribute up to $600 million in funds to the stadium and team offices: $90 million in infrastructure funding and $510 million […]
Royals Review Reacts Survey – Are the Royals closer than they appear?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Royals fans and fans across the country. The Royals are red hot; they’ve won eight straight. Even with all of that winning, though, they’ve merely created a second tier of “not in the […]
What was Little League like for you?
The Little League World Series is taking place in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with the championship to be played this Sunday. Long before many of us became Royals fans, most of us were probably Little Leaguers ourselves. For many of us, this was the extent of our baseball careers. It may have been when you had your […]
A Perfect Royals Homestand, a Red-Hot Lineup, and Late-Season Hopium
The Kansas City Royals just completed a perfect homestand, the fourth in franchise history, by sweeping the Detroit Tigers and extending their winning streak to eight games, the longest active streak in the AL. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down why this stretch felt different and whether it means anything for the faintest of […]
Kansas City Royals news: Eight in a row!
Michael Wacha continues to churn out quality starts, writes Jaylon Thompson. “When you are giving up one run, you are going to have a pretty good chance to win,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “And two runs yesterday. That’s usually the name of the game. When your pitching is solid, you’ve got a better chance […]
The Royals complete a perfect homestand with a Sunday sweep of the Tigers
Win number eight wasn’t pretty, but the Royals got the job done in an 11-7 victory over the Tigers to extend their wining streak. The Royals won all seven games of their homestand, just the fourth time in club history they have had a perfect homestand of seven or more games. If you had “Salvador […]
Royals vs Tigers, August 23 live discussion
The Kansas City Royals are the hottest team in the MLB currently, and no it’s not a typo. They have ripped off seven straight victories and won 8 of their last 9 games. The Royals are now 57-74 on the season. They sit 11 games back of the White Sox and 7.5 games out of […]
Wacha eats ghosts of losses past, Royals win seventh straight
It was a remarkably quick game as both teams combined for only 10 runners total. The Royals evened the season series and took the weekend series with a 3-1 victory over one of the teams that bedeviled them so much earlier in the season. Watching this game, you might not have realized just how well […]
Royals vs Tigers, August 22 live discussion
The Royals are already riding their longest winning streak of the season and look to make it even longer tonight. The team’s most consistent pitcher, Michael Wacha, will take the mound for the Royals. Wacha is tied for the AL lead in Quality Starts and is fourth overall. So he’s not just consistent, but he’s […]
Kansas City Royals news: Major changes to coaching staff unlikely
Anne Rogers has an update on Maikel Garcia’s injury. The Royals placed Garcia on the 10-day IL ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Tigers after the third baseman strained his left hamstring while running the bases Thursday against the A’s. An MRI revealed a Grade 1-plus strain, so Garcia could be out anywhere from […]
