The Kansas City Royals are a young team. Over the last few seasons, they have gotten into prolonged slumps, as the fragile egos of their young players are put to the test. They have now dropped eight straight games, and 13 of 15. They aren't just losing, they are getting pounded! The Royals have been outscored by a 58-19 count in the eight games or by an average margin of 7.3-2.4. That is just shy of five runs per game! They are facing a Blue Jays’ team that at 20-9, has the best winning percentage at home of any other AL team. Luke Hochevar can hardly instill confidence in the young Royals, who saw the Jays whack around their ace, Grienke last night. Hochevar is pitching to a 10.80 ERA on the season, and is winless. Only one way to go here - Blue Jays get the call.
