After a rocky start to the 2025 season, the Kansas City Royals have surged back into contention. Wrapping up April with eight wins in their last nine games, they've continued their winning ways into May, claiming three victories out of their first four contests. With a current record of 19–16, they find themselves only three games behind the division-leading Detroit Tigers in the American League Central.

The Royals' recent success can be attributed to an explosive offense, highlighted by an impressive game against the Baltimore Orioles, where they set a franchise record with seven home runs. This remarkable display of power included contributions from players like Vinnie Pasquantino, who leads the team with six homers, and Bobby Witt Jr., who is also having an exceptional season with four home runs. As they head into a crucial seven-game homestand against the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox, the Royals' momentum could play a pivotal role in their journey forward.
