Fifty-three-year-old Michael Schuster was indicted May 1 on multiple counts alleging he operated a pill mill from his clinic in Manhattan.

One thing the Kansas City Royals have been good at so far this season has been the ability to avoid losing streaks. The Royals will try to avoid a sweep against the Orioles tonight and snap their three game losing streak after falling last night 5-3. Luis Mendoza was on the mound for Kansas City looking for his first victory of the season. He’ll have to wait until his next start after giving up five runs, three earned on five hits.
