Perhaps it’s damning with faint praise, but outside the offensive explosion in Milwaukee, the Royals had averaged 2.333 runs per game this season. That means with today’s action, the average goes up a tiny bit. Obviously, I’ve still got both winners and losers listed here, but I’m still going to make...2025
