Marlins look to keep rolling vs. Royals, another struggling foe

The Miami Marlins will try to build on their best start to a season in nine years when they host the Kansas City Royals in the opener of a three-game series on Monday night.

The Marlins are coming off their first three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics in team history, and their second sweep of an American League West opponent in the past two weekends after outscoring the Los Angeles Angels 16-7 through three games in Anaheim, Calif.

Going into this season, Miami had not swept an AL West opponent in a series of at least three games since the 2014 season.
