A Royal Battle

In the first half of the baseball season, the Kansas City Royals proved that last year's trip to the World Series was no fluke. These guys are for real. By the All-star break, they had one of the best records in the league. The Tribe played them pretty evenly in that first half but they'll need to do better than that to make up some ground in the division. They get that chance today at 12:10 as they conclude a three-game series against the Royals at Progressive Field. Tickets start at $10. (Niesel)
