KC Royals Return Home To Play Twins After 5-1 Trip

The KC Royals took all three games in Detroit, propelled by their starting pitching. Don’t look now, they’re at .500! All three starters logged innings and kept Ian Kinsler and company quit, where they’ll return home versus bottom dwelling Minnesota.

These two just met in Minneapolis; this weekend they’ll duel it out in Kansas City where our Boys in Blue hopefully continue to climb in the standings.

Comments on Pitching Match-Ups – We saw last weekend how the Twins starting pitching has struggled by and large during 2016. Duffey gave them the best start up at Target Field, but did draw the Gee end of the straw—which never hurts.

Volquez hopefully is aided being at home (plus pick up his slow pace), but did win last weekend. Kennedy has pitched well; however. before Monday, didn’t have wins to back that up. Santiago looked dominant until the third inning on Sunday. Lastly, ex-Royal versus Bury Me a Royal in the finale should be quite the match-up.
