Royals coverage at KCSN

Joel Penfield breaks down the Royals’ sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jac Caglianone's power, the resurgence of Salvador Perez, and previews the series against the Mets. Later, he was joined by Jared Perkins, breaking down the MLB draft!

Caglianone and Perez are heating up, combining for five home runs in the Pittsburgh Pirates series. The two are up to four and 13 home runs on the season, respectively.

With Jared joining the show, he and Joel break down who the Royals could land in the 2025 MLB Draft. Kansas City has 22 picks overall and five of the top 97 picks, including two of the top 28.

Joel Penfield breaks down the Kansas City Royals finding a spark and starting a win streak. Joel discusses Nick Loftin, how the Royals have started to get rolling, what it means and what's next right before the All-Star break.

Kansas City (45-48) is now riding a three-game win streak and are winners of six of their last eight ballgames. They took the first two from the Pittsburgh Pirates (38-55), with the offense breaking out to 13 runs scored in those two. Newly named 2025 all-star Kris Bubic takes the mound tonight as the Royals gear up for a sweep.

Joel Penfield reacts to the release of the 2025 MLB All-Star Game rosters and the two Royals names that didn't make the list. Later, he recaps the Royals’ series win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Despite closer Carlos Estevez ranking second in the league in saves and posting a 2.13 ERA, he was left off the initial all-star roster. Third basemen Maikel Garcia, owner of the sixth-best batting average in the American League, to go along with an .832 OPS, was also snubbed.

On the brighter side, Kansas City is coming off a series win over the Arizona Diamondbacks (45-46) after splitting a four-game series with the Seattle Mariners (48-42). The Royals (44-48) are now second in the AL Central standings and five games out of a wild card spot after also winning their first of three against the Pittsburgh Pirates (38-54).
