Sun Apr 20 22:40:00 UTC 2025: **Royals End Grueling 17-Game Road Trip on a Losing Streak**

DETROIT, MI – The Kansas City Royals concluded a grueling 17-game stretch on Sunday, finishing with a dismal 6-10 record over those 17 days. The team is now 8-14 overall and has lost six games in a row, ending their road trip with a three-game sweep at the hands of the Detroit Tigers. This leaves them with a 1-8 road trip record.

The Royals’ struggles extend beyond their recent losing streak. They currently sit dead last in the league in runs scored per game, averaging a paltry 2.86. Their offensive woes have been compounded by a brutal early-season schedule that featured numerous matchups against playoff contenders.

Despite the team’s struggles, there’s a glimmer of hope. The Royals will enjoy a much-needed off day before returning home to face the Colorado Rockies in a three-game series starting Tuesday. Team officials are optimistic that the upcoming schedule will be less challenging, offering a chance for the team to regroup and improve their performance.

Michael Wacha will take the mound for the Royals in today’s game against Tigers’ AL Cy Young award-winning pitcher Tarik Skubal in what will be the final game of the road trip. The Royals will be hoping to salvage a win before heading home.
