The Royals have been dominating this series, winning four of the last five by multiple runs. Minnesota is a mess thus far, scoring just 9 runs over their first five games. KC is going to take advantage of that, especially with Volquez on the mound. He looked solid in his first start, going six innings without allowing an earned run. Kansas City should have no problem winning this game by multiple runs.
