Royals to Challenge Brewers at American Family Fields

As the Kansas City Royals prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Fields of Phoenix, fans are eager to see if the team can maintain their recent performance trends. The Royals have shown a mixed bag in their preseason games, with a record that includes both tight contests and clear victories.

In their last game against the Chicago White Sox, the Royals displayed resilience by tying the game 3-3. Despite having fewer hits than in previous games, they managed to keep errors off the board and showed efficiency in crucial moments. Their pitching staff held up well with an ERA of 3.00 and a WHIP of 1.0, indicating effective control over opposing batters.

However, consistency has been an issue for Kansas City as seen in their previous encounter with Cleveland Guardians where they suffered an 8-5 loss. The bullpen's ERA jumped to 6.231 and WHIP increased significantly to 1.6154 – numbers that will need improvement against a strong Brewers lineup.

The most promising performance came from their clash with Los Angeles Angels where they matched runs at eight apiece but ultimately showcased stronger hitting with a .278 average and more total bases (18 vs Angels' 17). Their pitchers also recorded an impressive ERA of just over two while keeping opponent batting average low at .071 from bullpen efforts.

Looking ahead to this matchup on March 22nd at American Family Fields of Phoenix, it's clear that if Kansas City can harness their offensive potential while tightening up pitching control as seen against Los Angeles Angels rather than Cleveland Guardians, they stand a good chance against Milwaukee Brewers.

Fans can catch this exciting preseason action live on BSWI network or head down to Phoenix for a scheduled first pitch at 1:10 PM MST on Thursday afternoon.
