Kansas City Royals News: There is still a lot of season left
TL;DR
The Kansas City Royals have a strong starting rotation with a 2.56 ERA, ranking second in MLB, but their offense is struggling with only 54 runs, tied for second-worst. The season is still early, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about their performance.

Seems like a slow news day.
Vahe Gregorian writes about the Royals start to the season.
The Royalsâ starting rotation entered the game with a 2.56 ERA â second in MLB only to the Yankees (2.50). Meanwhile, its offense with 54 runs through Sunday is tied for second-worst in baseball. So there is many a mixed message with not a lot of statistically significant data â at least in terms of sample size. You could just as easily say the Royals have frittered away a good deal of that great starting pitching as that theyâve been fortunate to cobble together three wins with three or fewer runs. Most of all, the point here is that absolutely nothing defining has happened yet. This season still is too much in the embryonic phase to draw any conclusions despite an uninspiring start.

Rotation still in good shape
Royals starters entered Sunday having recorded 15 consecutive scoreless innings over the last two games, but Noah Cameron had more difficulty, allowing five earned runs in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed two two-out, two-run home runs and issued the walk that would eventually come around to score the tying run in the sixth inning.But all in all, the Royalsâ rotation is still in good shape. Through 16 games, starters have allowed zero earned runs in five starts, one run or fewer in 10 starts and two or fewer in 11 starts. Starting pitching wins games, and the Royals feel like their rotation is going to keep them in games no matter what.
