In a crucial Wild Card battle, the Royals will aim to defend their home turf.
The Kansas City Royals will welcome the Boston Red Sox to Kauffman Stadium for a pivotal three-game series starting Monday. Both teams are on the cusp of the AL Wild Card race, making this matchup critical for their postseason aspirations.
Kansas City also made key acquisitions at the trade deadline, including starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen and veteran utility infielder Paul DeJong, adding depth and experience to their roster. The Royals' recent success includes a sweep of the White Sox and a solid series against the Tigers. The Red Sox will send left-hander James Paxton to the mound for his 20th start of the season. In his last outing on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners, Paxton tossed 4 1/3 innings, giving up three earned runs on six hits. The 35-year-old has pitched in 19 games this season, posting an ERA of 4.52, a 1.41 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and a WHIP of 1.463.
