After going through a nearly 30 year playoff drought the Kansas City Royals made the 2014 playoffs. By winning the Wild Card then a come from behind victory vs. Oakland to advance in the Wild Card game. That set off an electric run through the postseason spear headed by the man in the dugout manger Ned Yost. Kansas City came up just short in the World Series losing in 6 games to San Francisco. The young Royals are out the prove 2014 was no fluke. They play the same brand of baseball solid starting pitching. Which is followed by a fantastic bullpen. The team plays tremendous defense. As this article is being written Kansas City is 51-33 good for best record in the American League. Only St. Louis has a better record in all of Major League Baseball. Jerome Cain leads the team in batting average he's hitting .311 while playing a stellar outfield. Catcher Salvador Perez has crushed 11 home runs and DH Kendrys Morales is the team leader in RBIs with 57. Greg Holland closes games out with 18 saves thus far. If KC gets in again they will be a problem to get out in October when it comes to elimination.
