By Larry Fine NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Kansas City Royals are going through a rough patch, but leading hitter Eric Hosmer believes the humbling experience can help turn around the defending World Series champions. The Royals got off to flying start to the 2016 Major League Baseball season but have since lost 10 of their last 13 games to fall seven games behind the American League Central-leading Chicago White Sox. "Sometimes teams need that, you need to get knocked off your high horse every now and then," Hosmer told Reuters before the Royals lost the opening game of their four-game series against the New York Yankees on Monday.
