The AL Central is full of streaky teams and two of them continue their series in Minneapolis on Wednesday night. The Royals had won eight in a row, but now have dropped three straight after Tuesday’s 4-2 loss to Minnesota and a 6-5 defeat in the series opener. The Twins have now won six of their last seven but are still 3GB from Kansas City for second place in the division. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kansas City scored 4 runs in the 9th inning in Monday’s loss but fell short 6-5, otherwise counting a 4-2 victory on Tuesday it’s been a couple nice hard-fought wins for the Twins. Minnesota took two of three from the Royals in the opening series of the season, so they are now 4-1 vs. their division rivals on the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
KC has a great chance to stop their skid with Seth Lugo<\/a><\/strong> up in the rotation. The 34-year-old is having a career resurgence by ranking 2nd in MLB with an 8-1 record while leading the league with a 1.74 ERA. Kansas City has gone 4-1 in his five starts this month while Lugo has posted a 1.83 ERA and the Royals starter has only allowed more than 2 ER once this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
