22-7 so far this year. 51-30 last year ~.630 winning %.
They are tough to beat there. Give them credit. I think getting swept there is a good thing in the long run. The Royals play with a playoff intensity at home and the crowd brings it...even in June. It takes a sharper focus to win big games...especially on the road and our guys need to learn that. You can't relax vs them and you can't give away at bats. Gotta grind every AB like its game 7.
We are fine. Learn from it.
Get back on track at home vs Chicago and Tampa.

If they can take something from that series and learn from it and apply to future games to have more success...then maybe you can point to getting swept in KC as the wake up call they needed. Hey, we aren't the team to beat because we are in 1st place on June 15. The defending champs are in our division and they aren't going away. Better take those games seriously.
4 games north of the border before returning home for the 4th. 3 day games, including Friday day ball...which seems odd.
