The Royals will try to end their two-game losing skid this afternoon against the local Arizona Diamondbacks.

Ryan Bergert pitches in his second game, after throwing a scoreless inning in his first time out. The royals won’t start many regulars today, with Lane Thomas at DH, and a good look at young hitters Jac Caglianon and Carter Jensen. Gavin Cross is also in the lineup after homering yesterday.
