The Kansas City Royals had their second consecutive week with a winning record after winning four of their previous six games.

Their first game of the week was a 7-6 walk-off win in the tenth inning on Tuesday night at home against the New York Mets. After getting a 3-1 lead after the first seven innings, the Royals would give it all back by giving up three runs in the eighth to trail 4-3.

A Freddy Fremin sac-fly tied the game in the bottom of the eighth to send it to extras. In the top of the tenth, Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez went yard to bring home two runs to give the Mets a good chance of winning. However, the Royals chipped away at their deficit with an RBI double from Bobby Witt Jr. and an RBI single from MJ Melendez to tie the game 6-6.

With Melendez at third, Alvarez had an issue with his pitch communication device, so he attempted to call timeout. However, before he was awarded time, relief pitcher Josh Walker disengaged the mound incorrectly and was called for a balk giving the Royals the winning run. Tuesday’s victory was Kansas City’s third win in extras this season.

Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans was the story for Wednesday's 4-0 shutout victory. He went six innings and struck out eight batters while allowing seven hits and just one walk.

The offense set the tone early with Michael Massey driving in two runs with a double in the first inning and getting another run from Witt Jr.’s RBI single in the second.

Drew Waters would add insult to injury with a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning that felt like the knockout blow for the Mets’ hopes.

The winning streak would continue Thursday with a dominant 9-2 win to sweep New York.

Once again, Kansas City started their scoring in the first inning with Salvador Perez helping out after being ice cold since mid-June. He drove in a run with an RBI double to take an early 1-0 lead.

After a sac-fly from Maikel Garcia, Witt Jr. would bring home their third run of the day with solo home run in the third inning.

Drew Waters would be the one to break the game open with a three-run blast in the sixth inning with the pitching staff doing their job and not allowing the overpaid, unproductive Mets back in the contest.

Brady Singer went eight innings and gave up just three hits, no walks and no runs which led him to his seventh win of the year.

Kansas City took their six-game winning streak out east for a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. The first half of Friday evening’s game was a bit of a reality check for the Royals as they trailed 4-2 going into the sixth inning.

However, the Royals’ bats finally picked up where they left off with Massey hitting a solo bomb to get them back within a run. Fremin made it a brand-new ballgame with an RBI single to tie it, and the Royals robbed all the game’s momentum with a two-RBI base hit from Dairon Blanco.

Jordan Lyles wasn’t great (surprising, I know), but he was good enough to get his third win of the season with five runs surrendered in 5.2 innings.

Their winning streak was then seven wins in a row, but that would be where it would end with a 9-6 loss on Saturday.

The difference in the game was a go-ahead three-run home run from Trea Turner in the bottom of the sixth inning that gave the Phils the lead.

That loss snowballed into another loss on Sunday afternoon with an 8-4 defeat.

Zack Grienke didn’t have his best stuff in his start as he gave up five runs in the first two innings. However, the Royals kept up with Philly by scoring four of their own in that same amount of time. Sadly, the Royals’ offense stagnated, and the Phillies were able to produce runs with a Nick Castellanos two-run homer in the sixth and a sac-fly from Bryce Harper to seal KC’s fate.

Despite the rough landing this past weekend, it’s hard to complain about how the Royals played this past week. Especially with the ascendance of Bobby Witt Jr. over the past few weeks, something Royals fans have been waiting for over the past two seasons.

The starting pitching was also borderline immaculate during their seven-game winning streak. For the first time this season, Kansas City had everything clicking on all cylinders. For Royals fans, that’s all they’ve been waiting for. There was never an expectation for them to play this well all the time, but they have definitely expected this level of play more than the Royals have been able to produce it.

Although they probably won’t be able to play at that level on a consistent basis, it goes to show that this team shouldn’t have the worst record in franchise history.

Up next for the Royals is a four-game series in Boston against an underperforming Red Sox team that enters the series with a 57-54 record. It’s the first meeting between the Royals and Red Sox this season.

Following that will be another I-70 Series this time at home against the St. Louis Cardinals, who are trying their darnedest not to finish dead last in an ugly race for the National League Central Division. The two teams have already met in a two-game miniseries in St. Louis in which they split.
