The Kansas City Royals have won back-to-back games by a final score of 2-0, after losing the opening game of the series, 2-0. In the series and home stand finale, can someone finally score more than two runs?

Noah Cameron will go for the Royals, the lefty has had two great starts to begin his sophomore campaign. Cameron has pitched 10.2 innings, giving up 10 hits, 2 walks and just 2 runs, he has also struck out 10 batters.

The Royals will be in their new City Connect unis for the third straight game, so far, when wearing them, they are undefeated. Today’s lineup is very similar to what was used yesterday.

As for the Southsiders of Chicago, the White Sox will be using an opener in today’s matinee.

Jonathan Cannon is a name that should sound familiar. This will be his third professional season, going 9-20, with a 5.09 ERA in his first two seasons. Cannon in his career against the Royals has pitched 4 times against the Royals. He is 0-2, with a 3.00 ERA, in just 24 innings. He has given up 8 runs, walking 4 and striking out 10. He has also surrendered 2 homers.

Here are the starters behind Grant Taylor, but in all honesty, Jonathan Cannon.

It’s a rainy afternoon in Kansas City, so it’ll be interesting to see if the game gets played. For what it is worth, both teams are off tomorrow. On Tuesday, the Royals are in Detroit, and the White Sox are home for Tampa Bay. Anyways, let’s hope they play today and the Royals offense awakes from hibernation. First pitch is currently set for 1:10 p.m. CT. The game can be streamed on Royals.TV.
