Kansas City dropped two of three at Baltimore, but has won four of its last seven games overall. In those seven games, the Royals' offense is slashing .294/.345/.477 with 11 home runs while averaging 6.3 runs per game.

Cleveland lost four of five during its road trip, but won its last game at Milwaukee, 6-2 to make it back to .500. Cleveland is batting .274 at home and .208 on the road, and that .066 difference is the largest in MLB this season.

The Indians took two out of three against the Royals in the two teams' previous meeting in early April. Cleveland pitching limited Kansas City to just 1.3 runs per game and a .215 batting average in those games.

On April 8, Jason Hammel threw 6.0 shutout innings, allowing three hits and two walks against the Indians in a tough-luck no decision. Hammel has allowed just 0.62 home runs per nine innings (3/43.1) compared to 1.30 last season.

Trevor Bauer has recorded six consecutive quality starts with six or more strikeouts in each start. That is tied with Max Scherzer for the longest active such streak in baseball.  Over his last two starts, Bauer has struck out 19 batters in 12.2 innings pitched.

Francisco Lindor has a .409/.422/.932 slash line with six home runs in nine games played so far in May. Lindor's six May home runs are third most in all of baseball, behind Matt Adams and Nomar Mazara (seven each).

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians' battered bullpen might be getting some much-needed good news Friday, when the Indians will host the Kansas City Royals in the opener of a three-game series.
There is a chance Indians All-Star reliever Andrew Miller will be activated off the disabled list prior to Friday's game. Miller was placed on the 10-day DL on April 26 with a strained left hamstring. Since Miller was placed on the DL, the Indians' record is 5-9.

Indians hoping Miller returns Friday against Royals

CLEVELAND (AP)  Andrew Miller returned Friday night, but the tough times for the Cleveland Indians' bullpen aren't over.
The reliever, activated from the disabled list before the game, gave up Salvador Perez's two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 10-9 win.
