In the National League, the Giants (64-44) lead the way with the Phillies (62-44) in the East and the Cardinals (59-47) in the Central both holding comfortable leads in their divisions.

Kansas City Results
The Royals opened the month missing the opportunity to close the gap on the White Sox, splitting the last two games of a 4-game series. They took the frustration out on the Rays, scoring 34 runs to 5 in a three-game sweep. They then dropped two of three in Arizona before winning four of five heading into the All Star Break, 2-0 over the Cardinals, and 2-1 in Baltimore.
Coming out of the All Star Break, the Royals win three series in a row, although fail to sweep any of them, taking 2-1 results over the Tigers, the Dodgers, and the Brewers.
They finished the month losing the first of a three games series in Detroit to end with a 15-8 record, their best winning percentage of the month.
Kansas City Team Statistics
The Royals now lead the American League in most batting statistics, with only Home Runs (6th) and Base Running (11th) outside of the top five. On the pitching side, it is a similar story with top three rankings in all metrics except Starting Pitcher ERA (4th) and Walks (4th). The defense remains a weak point in 2035, with the 6th best Defensive Efficiency and 9th Zone Rating.
Enny Mijhail Van Dyke (157 wRC+) kept the Royals ticking over, batting in 25 with 5 HRs and 7 doubles. Eric Rose ((154 wRC+) was a strong call up, also hitting 5 HRs while Danny Rose (118 wRC+) put up 0.6 ZR in only 17 games. Edgar Mir missed a third of the month but still captured the Rookie of the Month award.
Curt Bogans (52 FIP-) went 4-0, while striking out 11 K/9 with a FIP of 2.30 for the month to lead the starting rotation while Chris Wagner (26 FIP-) had a 100% record in recording 5 saves in 8 outings, giving up 6 hits in 7 innings. Billy Nicklas (46 FIP-) was even stingier, giving up 6 hits across 10 innings while Jon Holtz (20 FIP-) gave up only 2 hits in 9.2 innings. A strong month for the bullpen which the Royals will hope extends for another three months.

The hits kept coming for the Royals in July as they lost three starters over the course of the month. Jeremy Rogerson will be fighting to be back for the post season after a bone chips in his elbow diagnosis, with his absence seeing Eric Rose called up the Big Leagues.
Drew Burress will miss a month and a half with his second injury of the season. His injury, and the disastrous first month of the season without him, saw the Royals trade for a starting CF. They gave up 2032 8th round pick Mike Anderson, along with 2035 MiL FA signing Yukiya Aoki, to the Blue Jays, getting CF Danny Rose in return. An elite defender, Rose will give little with the bat but does have plus speed and the ability to steal many bases.
The final loss was breakout star Edgar Mir, who will miss 5 weeks with a hamstring strain. 2028 International Amateur Alejandro Estrada was called up as cover, the best of an average set of options in AAA.
The Royals chose not to trade for infield help despite the two injuries and will hope to stay in contention until the Rogerson and Mir have recovered.
