 Ronny Rodriguez has collected a hit in seven of his nine games this season, hitting .303 overall and .391 against right-handed pitching. Last season, he hit just .220 overall, including .197 versus righties.

 The Royals lead MLB in steals this season with 33 -- no other team has more than 25. This includes 10 steals of third base, which is double of any other team in MLB.
