A pair of anemic offenses will try to find some life when the Kansas Royals visit the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night.
The Royals (83-74) won the series opener 1-0 on Tuesday night, scoring an unearned run in the 10th inning to snap a seven-game losing streak. The run ended a 27-inning scoreless stretch.
