Royals head home for reset after 3-3 road trip

Found April 12, 2012 on Fox Sports Kansas City:
PLAYERS: Jonathan Broxton,  Ned Yost
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians,  Kansas City Royals,  Oakland Athletics,  Los Angeles Angels
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) An encouraging road trip to start the season ended in most discouraging fashion for the Kansas City Royals. Now, they return home for a reset of sorts. Kansas City plays the Cleveland Indians on Friday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals took two of three from the Los Angeles Angels last weekend, and started out well against the Oakland Athletics before losing a pair of one-run games. In the series finale, Royals closer Jonathan Broxton walked a pair of batters and then plunked back-to-back hitters, sending in the winning run in the 12th inning. Royals manager Ned Yost says a day off Thursday will purge that from the team's memory, and the home opener on Friday will allow the team to start fresh.

Royals must improve offense to compete in AL

Friday's Royals' opener obviously was lost early when center fielder Jarrod Dyson misplayed a fly ball with two outs, allowing the Indians to eventually come up with four additional runs during a seven-run, punch-in-the-gut first inning. But here's the thing: If the Royals are going to hang around in the American League Central throughout this summer, they are going...
