MLB Standings
The Royal pass the Yankees but are still the second best team in baseball, and now are sitting in a Wild Card place after the Twins go 21-6 in the month of June to open up a 4 G lead over Kansas City. The road to 15 isn’t quite as simple as Stewart had hoped.

Kansas City Statistics
The challenge is clear, as starting pitching is proving problematic for the Royals, sitting in the bottom half of the AL and contributing to only the 8th fewest runs against so far.
There are clearly some starters (and a reliever) who are playing for their future between now and the All Star Break with changes likely. Outside of Nooks and Montalbano none of the starters are safe, while Mike Krebs continues to struggle this season.
