 The Indians won their last two games with the Royals to take the weekend series and ensure a winning record against each AL Central opponent for the third straight year. The last team to have a winning record against all division opponents in three consecutive seasons was the Yankees from 2001 to 2003.

 Jose Ramirez is second in MLB with a .626 slugging percentage against right-handed pitchers, and 32 of his 37 home runs on the season have come against righties. Of the 28 players with 20 home runs against right-handed pitchers, Ramirez has the second-fewest strikeouts (52) (Fewest: Anthony Rizzo -- 42).

 The Blue Jays put up 10 runs on 16 hits to avoid being swept by the Rays. The offensive outburst broke Toronto out of a slump against Tampa Bay, as they had gathered five hits or fewer and scored no more than two runs in their previous seven games versus the Rays.

 On Wednesday, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had his first multi-hit game since returning from a leg injury which derailed an 11-game multi-hit streak. Gurriel Jr. ranks third among American League rookies with a .293 batting average (minimum 150 plate appearances).

 RHP Shane Bieber has the highest run support average (6.56) of any pitcher who has made at least 15 starts. On the other hand, RHP Sam Gaviglio has received more than two runs of support just once in his past six starts, his only win since May 25.

 The Indians and Blue Jays played a double-header in Cleveland on May 3 after they had two games rained out earlier in the season. The winning team in each leg of the double-header scored 13 runs and there were 57 combined hits (9 home runs) on the day.

HP - Porter, 1B - Hernandez, 2B - Tichenor, 3B - Whitson

TORONTO - There is little suspense left in the American League Central race for the Cleveland Indians. It is just a matter of when they make it official.
They can move another step closer to a division title Friday night when they play the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of a four-game series at the Rogers Centre.
