Road trip begins in Kansas City with Rangers set to face surprising Royals

The Texas Rangers hit the road eyeing a third consecutive series win after a successful 5-4 homestand that saw them fall out of first place but also rebound from a grueling stretch that concluded the month of April. This next road trip kicks off in Kansas City, with stops in Oakland and Colorado that will also include a built-in doubleheader against the A's next week. Before that scheduling quirk, the first leg against the Kansas City Royals features a team coming off an incredibly hot month of April – record-breaking, actually.
