After scoring a season-high 15 runs on Saturday, Kansas City dropped the rubber game of its three-game series in Detroit yesterday, 5-2. The loss gave the Royals their MLB-high eighth series defeat of 2019.

The Astros swept their two-game series with the Angels in Mexico this weekend with a 14-2 win on Saturday and a 10-4 victory on Sunday. The 24 runs were the most for Houston in any two-game span over the last two seasons, as were its eight home runs that it hit over the two contests.

Since August 28, 2018, Adalberto Mondesi leads the American League with 52 RBI. Over that same span, he leads all of baseball with 25 stolen bases -- his teammate Whit Merrifield ranks second with 23.

Alex Bregman went 5-for-10 with three home runs and eight RBI in the two-game set in Mexico, including hitting his third career grand slam yesterday. Bregman had four home runs and 13 RBI over his first 27 games this season but has five homers and 10 RBI over his last five contests.

After a 10-strikeout effort against the Indians on April 25, Gerrit Cole struck out 10 Twins on April 30 over 7.0 innings, yielding zero runs and just one hit. It is the third time in his career he has posted 10+ strikeouts in consecutive games (three straight from 4/1 - 4/13/18; two straight from 4/29 - 5/4/18).

Jakob Junis posted his second quality start of the year his last time out, allowing two runs and two hits over 6.1 innings against the Rays. In two career starts against Houston, he is 0-1 while allowing 15 hits, 13 runs (10 earned) and four home runs in 9.0 innings.

HP - Hoberg, 1B - Gibson, 2B - Knight, 3B - Davis

It wasn't an environment conducive for right-hander Justin Verlander to dominate on par with his expectations, but Mexico was ideal for the Houston Astros to produce runs on par with their hitting prowess.
The Astros, set to host the Kansas City Royals on Monday in the opener of a three-game series, capped a two-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday with another double-digit scoring performance and three home runs to add to the five they slugged Saturday in a 14-2 victory.

Astros hope for better run production against Royals

HOUSTON (AP)  It's no secret that Houston's lineup has power from top to bottom. The Astros continued to show off that power on Monday night.
George Springer, Carlos Correa and Robinson Chirinos each homered to lead the Houston Astros to a 6-4 win over the Kansas City Royals.
