Royals slump undermines 2003 resurgence as losses mount
Kansas City Royals fall back into losing ways after a promising 2003 turnaround. Through May in Oakland, the team sits 11-21, with weak starting pitching and a leaky bullpen. Carlos Beltran leads with late rally memories while Raul Ibanez’s departure hurts depth. Ken Harvey and Beltran remain bright spots as the Royals chase a return to respectability in the AL Central.
