PITCHING PROBABLES: Tigers: Keider Montero (2-1, 4.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 24 strikeouts); Royals: Kris Bubic (5-2, 1.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 70 strikeouts)

My opinion is, you extend it, it just gives them more time to leverage against Missouri, so why do we want to do that?” House Speaker Dan Hawkins said.

Kris Bubic hopes his exceptional performance in May carries over to June and helps the Kansas City Royals snap the Detroit Tigers' road-series winning streak.

The Royals confirmed their interest in the Aspiria complex near 119th Street and Nall Avenue — once the Sprint World Headquarters campus — while also emphasizing that they "continue to explore all options throughout our community to develop a new stadium.

Both teams face big decisions in the month ahead, as Missouri lawmakers prepare to gather for a special session.

The Kansas City Royals' infield might be one missing piece away from perfection. Bobby Witt Jr. is the best shortstop in the game. Vinnie Pasquantino isn't movi

The Senate Freedom Caucus is demanding tax cuts in exchange for not blocking stadium funds for the Royals and Chiefs, while Democrats retaliated for slights during the regular session by derailing the routine work of signing bills.

Passan points out that for all Caglianone’s dominance, his two-strike approach is still sub-par. He’s chased just under half the pitches off the plate he’s seen in those settings (49.2 percent), which the Royals presumably fear is a trait that can be picked apart by the best pitchers in the world.
