The Royals welcome the Athletics to town on Friday night for the first game of a three-game series
The Kansas City Royals return home on Friday to take on the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a three-game series. The Royals just finished a seven-game road trip in which they went 4-3. They took a series from the Los Angeles Angels, but then lost two of three to the Seattle Mariners. The series loss to the Mariners dropped them to 26-19 on the season and has them just a game and a half back of the first-place Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central. Friday they will look to get back in the win column when they send Cole Ragans to the mound. Ragans comes into Friday 2-3 with a 4.22 ERA.
