Happy Easter to all who celebrate! The Kansas City Royals have a chance to take the series this afternoon against a really good Brewers ballclub. Early offense propelled the Brewers to a 5-2 win yesterday in game one of the doubleheader, while a big 6th inning led the Royals to an 8-2 victory in the nightcap, to split said doubleheader.<\/p>\n
The Royals currently sit at 4-4 on the season, with a 3-2 homestand so far, so on top of trying to make this a winning series, a win today would make it a winning homestand. They have a quick three game series in Cleveland starting tomorrow, before coming right back home for a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n
Last Easter, the Royals were in Detroit, and Tarik Skubal was the starting pitcher, a game the Royals won 4-3 in extra innings, to wrap up a dreadful road trip, and avoid being swept in a four-game series vs the Tigers.<\/p>\n
Kris Bubic goes today for the Royals. The left-hander had a great start in the home opener Monday against the Twins. Bubic went 6 innings, striking out four, giving up just one run (a solo homer), and walking three.<\/p>\n
Bubic did start in Milwaukee last season, going 6 innings, giving up 3 hits, 2 walks, striking out 8 batters, while giving up zero runs.<\/p>\n
With the Brewers throwing a left hander today as well, the Royals are opting for a more right-handed heavy lineup. Here are the starters behind Bubic.<\/p>\n
Also, today the Royals will be wearing a different uniform at home, for the first time since 2008.<\/p>\n
As for the Brewers, they have been the model of consistency the last decade in baseball. For a small market team, they always seem to be winning lots of games and in the playoffs. Here is their lineup today behind Kyle
Harrison.<\/p>\n
First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. CT and can be streamed on Royals.TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
