The Kansas City Royals waited two days to play a recreation at Baltimore, and for one recreation it appeared definitely worth the delay. They gained the opener of a doubleheader Sunday. But two losses meant the Royals dropped the collection and head to Texas eight video games underneath .500.
Once once more, well timed hitting eluded the Royals within the earlier two losses. They rank close to the underside of a number of American League hitting classes. The staff batting common is .222. The OPS is .605.
