Game Preview
The Kansas City Royals look to keep their home run streak alive when they face the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday to kick off a two-game series. Kansas City has homered in 13 straight games, matching their second-longest streak in team history. During this stretch, the Royals have gone 8-5 and are currently holding the final American League wild-card spot, trailing the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central and just behind the Minnesota Twins.
Bobby Witt Jr. shined with two homers and four RBIs in the Royals’ 8-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, earning MVP chants from the crowd. Witt leads the majors with a .349 batting average and tops the Royals with 22 home runs and 84 RBIs.
Witt and the Royals will face Miles Mikolas (8-9, 5.12 ERA) on Friday, while Kansas City will start Michael Lorenzen (5-6, 3.69 ERA). Lorenzen, who made a solid debut with the Royals after joining from the Texas Rangers, is 4-3 with a 2.22 ERA in his career against the Cardinals.
The Cardinals, who missed out on a sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays with a 6-4 loss on Thursday, are 2.5 games behind the final National League wild-card spot. Nolan Arenado continues to impress, batting .395 with six RBIs over his last 10 games.
