How the KC Royals' Season-Long Skid Hit 6 Games with Loss to Rival Cleveland Guardians

A Look at the Royals' Recent Struggles

After dropping their sixth consecutive game to the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, the Kansas City Royals find themselves in the midst of their longest losing streak of the season.

The team's recent struggles have been marked by a lack of offensive production and poor pitching. The Royals have averaged just 3.3 runs per game during their losing streak and have allowed their opponents to score at least five runs in each contest.

The Royals' rotation has been particularly disappointing during the losing streak, with the starters combining for a 6.57 ERA. The bullpen has also struggled, allowing 10 earned runs in just 15.1 innings of work.

What's Next for the Royals?

The Royals will look to snap their losing streak when they face the Guardians again on Sunday afternoon. The team will need to find a way to generate more offense and get better performances from their starting pitchers if they want to avoid a seventh consecutive loss.

With a record of only 25-36, the Royals are currently in last place in the AL Central. The team will need to turn things around quickly if they want to have any chance of contending for a playoff spot.
