Kansas City news: Royals somehow surpass Milwaukee Brewers

Somehow, one of the worst MLB teams was able to take down one of the best. Yesterday afternoon, the Kansas City Royals found a way to get their third win against the Milwaukee Brewers. 

Can someone please explain how the Kansas City Royals, who have struggled all year and looked rather meager and messy against the Baltimore Orioles this past weekend, found a way to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday?

The Kansas City Royals, consistently one of the worst MLB teams around all season, found a way to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers, one of the most successful MLB teams around all season. It just doesn’t make much sense.

The Royals snagged a solid 5-2 win over Milwaukee yesterday, but that’s not the only thing going on in the world of Kansas City sports.
