The first of two takes place Wednesday afternoon as the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals play Game 1 of their doubleheader.
The Royals took the series opener thanks to some crooked numbers in Game 2.
Boston Red Sox
Boston’s offense has been used to putting up double digits offensively.
They came into this series 7-1 in their last 8 games while averaging nearly 10 runs per game. However, the offense managed just 4 runs on Tuesday night, with 3 of those coming from a Travis Shaw homerun. The Red Sox continue to be in a 1st place tie in the AL East with the Orioles, who also were routed on Tuesday night.

Boston will send out Steven Wright in DH opener. Wright recorded his first ND of the season last time out, as he allowed 5 runs on 9 hits in just 4.1 innings of work. He was bailed out by his offense to earn the ND, but the Sox still lost in the outing.
Wright has gone 2-2 on the season away from Fenway Park.
Kansas City Royals
The Royals are trying to turn it on and they continue to take steps in the right direction.
It was the crooked numbers that made the difference in the series opener on Tuesday night as they put up a pair of 3 spots with a 2 spot coming early.
The Royals currently sit in 3rd in the AL Central, thanks to their play at home. They have gone 11-6 while allowing just 3.5 runs per game. They have been unable to build any sort of consistent winning streak yet, which has been the biggest problem for them.

The Royals will send out Ian Kennedy here in Game 1. Kennedy is 4-3 on the year with a decent ERA of 3.25. He has factored in every game this year and comes in off a loss where he allowed 7 runs on 5 hits in 6.1 innings of work. Kennedy has given this team length, which has been a huge key for them. He has failed to reach the 6th inning just 1 time this year.
