Kansas City Royals vs Washington Nationals Live Stream: How to Watch MLB

The Washington Nationals go for their third straight win in this series opener against the Kansas City Royals on Monday.

The Washington Nationals host the Kansas City Royals to start this first and only series of the season on Monday night. The Nationals are going for their third win in a row, and look to get three games above .500. Washington is 37-35 overall, but continues to struggle at home at just 14-21 in the nation’s capital. In a battle of the Washingtons, the Nationals won the final two games in their last series at home against the Seattle Mariners. The Nationals are going for their fourth series win in a row, but they are still third in the NL East and nine games back of the first-place Atlanta Braves. The Royals avoided a sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros in the series finale at home on Sunday. The victory also ended a four-game losing streak for Kansas City. Still, the Royals are 29-43 and 12-22 on the road, putting them in last place in the AL Central. Kansas City is 10 games back of the first-place Chicago White Sox. Subsequently, the Nationals will be the -136 favorite to win three straight and win the opener of this series. Washington is projected to start Andrew Alvarez tonight. The lefty is 1-0 with a 3.70 ERA in 24.1 innings pitched. The Royals will start Mitch Spence, who is making just his second appearance tonight. The righty didn’t have the opener that he was hoping for, giving up six runs in four innings in an eventual 13-4 loss to the New York Yankees back in April. Spence is 0-0 with a 13.50 ERA in four innings, getting his second appearance since moving over from the Athletics in the offseason.

The Nationals won big in their rubber match with the Mariners to win the series on Sunday, by a 10-1 final. Seattle got off to a quick start, scoring the first run of the game on an RBI double from Josh Naylor in the top of the first, but that was because of a fielding error. But the Mariners couldn’t score the rest of the way, being limited to just five hits on the day. That had a lot to do with Miles Mikolas. The righty earned just his second win of the season after going seven scoreless innings while giving up just three hits after PJ Poulin opened the game for an inning. James Wood hit a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first, and the Nationals scored five in the fourth inning to pull away with the victory.

The Royals ended their four-game losing streak by beating the Astros 4-0 on Sunday. Stephen Kolek pitched an equally impressive game as Mikolas on Sunday, going 7.1 scoreless innings while giving up five hits to improve to 4-1 on the season. Maikel Garcia got KC on the board first in the first inning on an RBI single. Garcia would score two more on an RBI double as part of a three-run third inning to give Kolek all the run support he would need.
