The Kansas City Royals return home for a weekend series, taking on the Baltimore Orioles at Kauffman Stadium in a Wild Card rematch.

 

The boys in blue are 2-4 on the young season, looking for their first series win of the campaign, while Baltimore is 3-4 on the season, looking to keep pace with the Yankees and Red Sox in the AL East.

 

Seth Lugo will be on the mound for the series opener, with Michael Wacha and Kris Bubic to follow this weekend. Dean Kremer is the starting pitcher for Baltimore tonight, looking to bounce back from a rough first start of the season.

 

Orioles star shortstop Gunnar Henderson will be returning from injury to make his season debut tonight. The Royals eliminated Baltimore in the AL Wild Card last October.

 

Coverage of the series opener begins tonight at 6 p.m. CT with first pitch at 6:40 on the Mighty 690 KGGF.
