Central competition...the Royals are out to turn around a recent run in which the club went 1-5 against a single divisional foe, spanning six games against the leading Indians...overall, KC is 24-29 within the Central, which is a big improvement considering the year started 3-13 intradivisionally...after Wednesday, KC is 15-13 against the East with games remaining against the Jays (3) and Yankees (1)...KC has completed work with teams from the A.L.
