5/06/24 Maikel Garcia sends Royals past Brewers. Maikel Garcia grounded a go-ahead, two-run single up the middle in the seventh inning as the host Kansas City Royals rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday in the opener of a three-game series. With the Royals trailing 2-0, Michael Massey led off the home half of the seventh with his third home run of the season. Milwaukee reliever Jared Koenig (2-1) hit a batter and walked another before exiting after retiring just one of the four hitters he faced, giving way to Elvis Peguero, the second of three Brewers hurlers in the frame.

3/27/24 2024 Royals Lineup: Getting back to what we love about the Royals . After tying  the team record for fewest wins in a season, the Kansas City Royals were busy in the offseason, signing a number of free agents and trading for additional pieces of what they hope will be a much more competitive roster. Although a large majority of the team's 2023 position players have returned for 2024, the team has added a few players to strengthen their offense and their depth, while adding two veteran starting pitchers to the rotation and several new relievers. Pasquantino  should provide additional power and productivity to a team that finished 26th in home runs in 2023 and 23rd in runs batted in. The Royals are also expecting a step forward offensively from Maikel Garcia, who was one of the top vote getters for AL rookie of the year after his 2023 season at third base, and Michael Massey, who has shown flashes of offensive potential at second base.
