In their recent games, the Royals have struggled offensively, with batting averages hovering around .167 and .156 in two of their last outings. Their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities has been limited, as evidenced by a low number of runs scored across these matchups. However, they have demonstrated solid defensive play with no errors recorded in two out of three games.

In recent performances, they've maintained an ERA around 4.5 and showcased strong strikeout capabilities with over ten strikeouts per nine innings in some contests. The bullpen has also contributed effectively by minimizing damage late in games.
