Last night, the Kansas City Royals offense broke out, scoring seven runs en route to a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays had many opportunities to try and be more competitive in the game, but failed as they were just 3 of 12 with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile on the defensive side of things, the team committed four errors, so that’s nice.

Tonight the Rays will hope to return to the win column, they have lose their past three games in a row.

Chris Young is taking Ian Kennedy’s turn in the rotation, Kenny was placed on the 10-Day DL a few days ago. So far this season, Young has pitched in seven games for the Royals, all in relief. His last outing came on the 2nd against Chicago where he held the White Sox scoreless for three innings.
