The Kansas City Royals are not playing to the level that many expected this season and the team has seemed to reach their breaking point after another loss.

After Saturday’s 4-0 loss to the Athletics, the Royals held a players-only meeting in hopes of jump-starting a team in an early June swoon. But on Sunday, the Royals lost to the A’s 3-2 to finish their six-game homestand 0-6.

The Athletics have a formidable offense to their credit, although they still lose a lot because of their dreadful pitching, but that hasn’t been the case this weekend so far. For a team that at one point had lost 19 of 20 and had only 6 wins since May 10th before this series,

The Royals (34-38) fell victim to their second straight sweep, falling 3-2 to the Athletics (29-44) at Kauffman Stadium.

BOTTOM LINE: The Kansas City Royals play the Athletics looking to stop their five-game home slide. Kansas City has a 19-17 record at home and a 34-36 record overall. The Royals have gone 12-29 in games when they have allowed at least one home run.

The Athletics have taken advantage of the scuffling Kansas City Royals to find some needed road success. On Sunday afternoon, the A's will try to sweep a three-game set and send the Royals to a winless six-game homestand.
