The Royals, who will try to avoid a three-game series sweep on Sunday at the Miami Marlins, went 7-3 in their final 10 contests prior to the All-Star break. "We have to be more consistent on the little things moving runners, backing up bases," Quatraro said. "These are things that don't show up on the box score.

The club dispatched the Marlins 7-4 at LoanDepot Park behind clutch hitting throughout the lineup. Jac Caglianone and Jonathan India each provided two-run doubles and Salvador Perez capped the victory with a solo homer. Perez has hit six home runs in his last 10 games. His latest traveled 369 feet over the left-field wall.
