Swept KC, nice way to come out of the all star break.
The good: Hello offense! Nice to see you once again. From gazing over the boxscores, I think my team scored 10+ runs three times before the all-star break, and now did it twice in three games after the break, as well as hitting 9 runs in the third game. Not sure what got into them in those five days off, but I'll sure take it!
The bad: Not much to complain about in an undefeated week, even if it was only three games. I guess it's a bummer that both TOR and BAL only had 1 loss so I didn't make up much ground on TOR or create much separation from BAL.
Coming up: 4 games in Baltimore, 3 games at home against the Guardians
