Kansas City remains in the thick of the American League (AL) playoff race, despite going 4-6 in its last 10 games.
The Royals were 66-55 and held the position of the final wild card spot entering this weekend’s three-game interleague road series with Cincinnati. Their 4-6 stretch began with a split of the final two games of a road series with Detroit.
With the regular season less than three weeks away, Kansas City is prepping to do something only one other NFL franchise has done: win three straight league titles.
The Chiefs have won back-to-back league titles, rallying to defeat Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII, and then rallying and defeating San Francisco in overtime in Super Bowl LVIII. A victory in Super Bowl LIX, scheduled for February 2025 in New Orleans would put them in the company of Green Bay.
Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and his fellow Royals are on the edge of playoff contention with roughly six weeks left in the Major League Baseball regular season.
Led by Witt, who was named American League (AL) Player of the Month for July, the Royals were 64-52 and in third place in the AL Central Division entering this weekend’s two-game interleague series with St. Louis at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals have won seven of their last 10 entering the series.
