After a miserable homestand in which the Kansas City Royals went 0-11, the team will likely look forward to getting back on the road of all things just to have a change of scenery in hopes of curing the jinx the team is obviously under. The young line-up can't get a timely hit in any shape or form, and the pitching does just enough to lose a game. It's been a very unfortunate streak for a team with much higher hopes in 2012. Tonight they can begin to turn things around on the road at Cleveland. Here's the starting line-ups.
