Zim Zam explained it best. The Royals in 75 fired McKeon and hired Whitey. They played great baseball for pretty much the duration of the season. But the A.’s were too much. But the expectations were set for 76. So after starting 5-7 and kinda stumbling into mid/late May, the weather heated up and so did the Royals.
That’s kinda what I was trying to say.

Without doing a lot of research, I'm guessing it's been awhile since the Royals and their rotation have managed that.

That's six in a row now for rotation wins with Ragans picking up his 4th today. I'm gonna have to do some digging about this pleasant "anomaly".
