Show Notes
Two innings have cost the Royals a five-game winning streak. Relievers surrendered walk-off home runs in two of the past three games to prevent the perfect stretch.
But they’ve been playing better baseball lately, especially the starting pitching. On today’s SportsBeat KC hosted by Vahe Gregorian, KC Star writers break down the good and bad about the week and look ahead as the season closes in on the midway point.
Who is on the trading block and who is off-limits? How’s Vinnie Pasquantino adjusting to major league pitching? The group bats around these questions and more.
