Royals hoping for better success at home vs. Braves

The Kansas City Royals will send ace Zack Greinke to the mound on Saturday against the visiting Atlanta Braves to try to salvage a game from the three-game series and end the team's troubles at home.

Greinke (0-3, 3.31 ERA) will be opposed by Atlanta's Kyle Wright (0-0, 12.00), a 21-game winner last season.

The Royals are 1-8 at Kauffman Stadium and have been outscored 48-23 in the team's worst start at home since 2018,
