The Good, Meh & Bad From the Royals' Series Against the Twins The Kansas City Royals won their first series of the year, which is good. There was plenty of bad against the Minnesota Twins, however.

Gabe Speier - Not seeing much work Speier allowed a hit in a scoreless inning in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Twins.
Impact Thursday's outing was just the second appearance of the year for Speier. He's covered 2.2 scoreless innings, striking out three and allowing only two hits. The 27-year-old southpaw made just 24 major-league appearances across the previous three seasons. He'll likely continue to serve as a middle-innings option while with the Royals, though it's unclear if he'll stay in the big leagues when rosters go from 28 to 26 players on May 2.

Taylor Clarke - Throws two scoreless innings Clarke allowed a hit and struck out two in two scoreless innings during Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Twins.
Impact Clarke began the season with three straight outings of one-third of an inning. He's been allowed to work longer assignments since then, covering two innings in each of his last two appearances. He's at a 1.80 ERA, 0.40 WHIP and 4:0 K:BB through five appearances this season, though he'll likely remain in a multi-inning role going forward.
