After this week at Bush Stadium in St. Louis, all of the Cardinals fans saying that this is not a rivalry may have some different feelings now. The Royals just swept the Cardinals in a 3 game series. And with how Kansas City had been playing before interleague play this is very exciting to see. The Royals are now 7-2 against National League teams this year and 5-1 in their last 2 series.

Todays game was a 4-1 win that Zack Greinke pitched great in. The Royals allowed their fewest amount of hits in a game for the season with only 2 allowed. The only run by the Cardinals came on a home run. All 3 games of the series were close with the other to games being 1-run games. Mark Teahen was able to give the Royals two insurance runs in the 9th inning while they had a 2-1 lead. It was Mark’s 7th home run on the season.

Even with this sweep being over a injured Cardinals team it still feels pretty good to be a Royals fan today. Now the Royals will come home to play a series against the Giants and then the Rockies. Both of these series seam winable for KC. After the 12 game losing streak that really hurt the Royals hopefully they are playing well enough to get back in the division race.
