The Kansas City Royals have ripped off 21 victories in 26 games to surge to the top of the American League Central as they prepare to open a two-game interleague series at the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. The Royals, bidding to make the postseason for the first time since 1985, hold a two-game lead over Detroit. Colorado hurler Matzek has taken a step back since beating Pittsburgh with seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball on July 26 - his only win since his victorious major-league debut on June 11. He took the loss in relief at the Chicago Cubs three days later and dropped his next three starts - all on the road - by allowing 16 runs and 22 hits over 15 innings. The 23-year-old rookie has surrendered five homers during his three-start skid.

<p>Texas has dropped the first three games of the series, seven in a row and 21 of 24 overall, an incredible downturn for a team that has finished either first or second in the American League West for six straight years. Opponents have scored an average of 8.4 runs during the slide. The Angels have won six straight between the rivals after going 5-18 against the once-mighty Rangers from late 2012 through the early portion of 2014. With a victory Sunday, Los Angeles would tie the franchise record for wins prior to the All-Star break (57) first accomplished in 2008. </p>

<p>Two teams going in opposite directions meet today when the reeling Texas Rangers host the Los Angeles Angels in the second of four games. The Angels' 15-6 rout in the series opener was more of the same for both teams as Los Angeles won for the seventh time in eight games while sending the Rangers to their 19th loss in 22 contests. The teams were separated by 2 1/2 games as late as June 16, but second-place Los Angeles is up 16 1/2 games on Texas, which is alone in last. In addition, LAA hurler Richards won his fourth consecutive start with an overpowering performance last time out, striking out a career-high 11 and giving up one run over 7 1/3 innings against Houston. The 26-year-old is 6-0 in his last seven outings, a stirring stretch in which he has yielded a total of eight runs. Richards won both his starts against Texas this season, giving up four runs and striking out 16 over 12 innings.</p>

The Rangers are coming off a three-game home sweep at the hands of Houston, which had owned the league's worst record prior to outscoring Texas 28-14. The Rangers were at the .500 mark on June 16 but have stumbled to a 3-18 record since - a dismal stretch that includes getting swept by the Angels in a three-game set in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>The Oakland Athletics have rolled to the best record in baseball thanks largely to their offense, although their recent success can be attributed mostly to their pitching staff. The Athletics look to match their longest winning streak of the season Tuesday when they complete their half of a home-and-home series with the San Francisco Giants. Oakland (56-33) has scored a league-high 444 runs, but has won five straight in large part because it has allowed a total of four runs in that span. The Athletics, who are 8-1 in interleague play, have also been taking advantage of their home field lately, winning for the 10th time in 11 tries at O.co Coliseum with Monday’s 5-0 victory over the Giants. Conversely, San Francisco has lost four in a row in Oakland and 12 of its last 14 on the road against American League opponents.</p>
