The Kansas City Royals might have to rely on the line-up tonight a bit more since Everett Teaford is on the mound making a spot start in the hopes that he can help in a pinch as the Royals open up a series against the Minnesota Twins. The Royals are on a nice little roll with two wins in a row. That might not sound like much but anything sounds great against the backdrop of a 12-game losing streak, which just ended before the Royals starting winning against the Cleveland Indians. As they head out tonight, here KC's announced batting order.
