The Kansas City Royals can’t afford to drop any more games and Sunday’s series finale against the Minnesota Twins couldn’t be a bigger game for them. They’re still a fringe AL wild card team, four games back from the last wild card spot. They don’t have a lot of time to make up any ground. And if there’s any team they shouldn’t be struggling against, it’s the Twins. Minnesota sold off just about every key piece at the deadline and have closed the book on this season.
It doesn’t mean the Twins won’t enjoy playing spoiler and the Royals are their next target. The series finale will be streamed on Roku TV as part of the streaming service’s Sunday Leadoff package this year. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET.
