The Royals found a 5-0 week during a season of disappointment.

Who saw this coming? Not me.
Coming into this week, the Royals looked like a team hardly interested in playing the last half of the season. They d just lost a series to the Baltimore Orioles after five days off and a first-half plagued by multiple losing streaks.
Before last week things looked bleak and poised to get bleaker with the Royals facing the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers and the surging Detroit Tigers.
But the Royals decided to shock everyone and play like the Royals of April. On the back of improved starting pitching and a resurgent Hunter Dozier and Jorge Soler, the Royals swept both the Brewers and Tigers.
