The Royals need the win to keep their playoff aspirations going. They face a tough pitcher in Rodon, but the Royals have won the last two games of this four-game series. Their bats came alive against a solid pitcher in Quintana on Sunday, so look for KC to build on that today and give Ventura the run support he needs to win.
