After winning their first two games of the 2019 season, the Kansas City Royals have lost 10 games in a row falling 7-6 to the Seattle Mariners (who happen to own MLB's best record at 13-2).
This is not an unfamiliar experience for the Royals who had a 10 game losing streak right before the All-Star Break last year en route to losing 104 games. This team is a far cry from the one that won back to back AL pennants in 2014 & 2015 along with a World Series title in 2015.
To make matters worse, Whit Merrifield's 31-game hitting streak (going back to last season) came to an end. Merrifield, a super utility player, was the only reason Royals' fans had to come out and watch their games. Things don't get any easier as the Royals host the defending AL Central champion Cleveland Indians this weekend in what promises to be another very long season.
