Coming into today's game, the Royals are seven games below .500 and have fallen to 40-47 on the year. The Royals' offense is still dead last in the MLB for runs scored and sits 27th in baseball in OPS. They are 5.5 games out of a wild-card spot and are still searching for an offensive answer that can help them make a late-season playoff push.
