The Kansas City Royals roll into Saturday’s game with the Cincinnati Reds, aiming for a third consecutive win on the road. Winners in three of their last four games, the Twins can put more pressure on the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians and second placer Minnesota Twins if they can secure another win against the Reds. Kansas City is averaging 5.1 runs on a .289 batting average in their last five games, offsetting an underwhelming a 5.02 ERA. The Reds saw their four-game winning streak snapped on Friday at the hands of the Royals 7-1. The latest setback caused them to slide two games below .500 at 60-62, sharing the No.2 spot with a 60-62 St. Louis Cardinals and trailing the 70-52 Milwaukee Brewers by 10 games. Cincinnati has had a dazzling five game stretch on the mound, sporting a 2.80 ERA while averaging 8.4 strikeouts per game.
