After winning three games in a row, the Royals have dropped their last four contests. A couple bullpen meltdowns and inept offense have been the difference for the Royals the last four days. (And for the whole season to be honest).
Seth Lugo starts today’s contest for the Royals. Ever since getting drilled in the head by a comebacker, Seth Lugo hasn’t had good outings. The long ball has been a huge factor in all of that, but hopefully we get a vintage Lugo performance heading into the break.

Tolbert is not in the lineup again today, despite being arguably the hottest hitter on the team. Vinnie Pasquantino is the designated hitter today.
Here is the rest of the Royals starters.
The Baltimore Orioles are better than the Royals record wise, but I wouldn’t say that they are a “good team”, they are under .500, but with how bad the AL Wild Card race is, they are right in the thick of that.
Righty Shane Baz, the former Tampa Bay Ray, starts for Baltimore.
Here are their starters behind him today.
The Royals are 3-18 versus the AL East this season, can they get their 4th win against them today? First pitch is set for 12:35 p.m. CT. The game can be streamed on Royals.TV.
The MLB Futures Game starts at 11 a.m. CT today. Blake Mitchell is the starting catcher and batting 5th. Kendry Chourio might make an appearance on the bump as well. That can be watched on NBC.
